A promise to myself

Since 2010 is now amoung us. I have decided to make a promise to myself. Let's just hope that, in the end, it doesn't end up being broke. Because honestly. I have a hard time sticking to anything. This is something I am really going to work at. Give it my all and keep on top of. Is it sad that I can't depend on myself enough to know that I will follow through with it.

Well here it goes. I am promising to myself, that I will save as much money as I can within the next 6 months. I havent evaluated what we will be able to put into savings yet Once I do that. I will develop a master plan and a set dollar amount to have in my bank about by July first. Yes, I know that is the 7th month of the year, but we have some priorities that need to be taken care of before this can happen.

I have always sucked at saving money. We went into this winter with little to no reserve or savings account knowing that J's job would be slowing down. Yes, we've been in some tough spots the last couple of months. But we are now in a better place and position to put money away and be prepared for next winter.

We recently moved, to help us save money. It is a whole hell of a lot cheaper than what we were doing before. This will help us pay down some debt and get back on our feet. Where we will be more comfortable. Digging yourself a financial hole is no fun. Especialy when the reprecussions finally come kick you in the ass. Both J and I have learned our lessons. We are adjusting to living moer frugally and saving money instead of wanting to spend every extra dime we make.

I am excited for the new year. I hope that it brings all of us more luck and fortune.
