June Goals

After a peaceful weekend off of work (my last one for a couple of months) I woke up today with a renewed outlook on my life, again.  I was able to take the weekend to relax and focus on finding out where I want to put some energy into and where I need to pay less attention to.


We only get one today.  We can spend it any way we want.  We can dwell on the past, plan for the future, or spend it in the moment.  I have my moments when each are important to me, but for now I have decided that I want to focus on the day at hand.  I need to take any time that I have to do something that I want to accomplish.  It may be large or small, but in the end I just need to get up and go!  I have been reading some new books lately and I have been learning a lot about myself in the process.  Things I have been scared of, vacations I want to take, habits I want to teach myself, as well the importance of being unique.  


This month I have decided that I need to be more deliberate in my planning and that I need to make more of an effort to complete my goals, and strive to do even more with my time and energy.






Here are my goals for June.
Re-commit to the Money Saving Mom's 4 Weeks to Organized Challenge
Try 1 New Recipe Each Week, Including Homemade Pizza Pockets
Listen to at Least 1 Audio Book
Read 2 Books, Hopefully 1 of them is 50 Shades of Grey, I keep hearing Wonderful Things!
Spend More Time with Friends and Family, and My "Little"
Continue Towards My Survey Earnings Goal of $1,000 (I am hoping to Hit It this Month!)
Move to a Complete Cash Budget (Except for Gas in My Car...I hate Going In!)


While I continue to plan for the future, mainly because I love to plan, I do know that no one can tell us what tomorrow is going to bring.  However, I would rather be prepared for what it may be, instead of waking up one day and not being prepared when I had time to get my life together.  I am aiming to focus on saving money, learning new traits, and cherishing moments as they come.

YouData.com

Looking for a quick, easy way to make some extra money?  Check out YouData. It is not a huge money maker, but the pennies add up with time, and it is always nice to see a few extra cents get added into the budget, for something that you normally do on a daily basis...look at ads and watch commercials! Here is a copy of my referral email if you would like to join under my account (which I would be grateful for), or you can always visit the site on your own to sign up! I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData ( youdata.com ). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid fo...

A Week of Golf

In 2017 my team was tasked with exciting job of catering to the LPGA Marathon Classic for their week long golf tournament here in town.  We had less then 4 months to prepare, and we had never done anything on such a large scale before.  It was both exhilarating and terrifying, especially for an Enneagram 6 like me.  We are loyal and committed, but our biggest needs are security, and we fear not having the support and guidance needed.  What a way to walk into a task like this.   I was suddenly tasked with finding organizations to fill close to 200 shifts for concession stands, as well as around 75 employees to help me make this event a reality.  It took a lot of time, planning, questions, stress, and a roller coaster of emotions, but we did it!  It was amazing the feeling that you have after you accomplish something like that. Since then we have continued to receive this job each July, and each year has gotten a little easier.  We have ha...

This blog was originally started to document different things that we were doing in order to move towards early retirement.  That was years ago before we decided to have our Sweet B.  We planned to work, travel a little, and budget so we could retire and spend the rest of our lives doing whatever we wanted....  Life had other plans, and we now have the best gift of our lives - along with all of the expenses that come with having a child, as well as the want to not work as much so we could spend more time with her. Even with these new diversions, the goal remains - Retire Early, and Enjoy Life.  We have seen so many friends and family that are working into their later years, or who have too little money to actually enjoy their retirement, and even worse - those that never made it to their later years with the chance to retire and relax. Every year we give ourselves a large goal - one that is just enough of out reach to make us stretch for it, but realistic eno...
