Goals for 2013
#5 - I would like to try one new recipe I have pinned on Pinterest each week. -
#8 - Set small monthly goals in order to achieve these yearly goals! - I think I did ok with this.
I had a whole post wrote out with a long list of goals I hoped to accomplish in 2013. Honestly, though with my husband getting a new job, that will require a long commute and is for less money, our #1 goal is to continue to live within our means. - I think we did so so with this. Over the summer we ran up alittle credit card debt but we managed to get it paid off. So I guess we did ok.
Our #2 goal is to purchase with cash a new to us fuel efficient car. Hopefully this will happen by mid summer. We hope to be able to do this by saving, saving, saving!! - We bought a used Pruis in April that we financed. It has saved us a ton of money in gas. We are currently working to pay this off as quickly as possible.

Which leads to our #3 goal.....
# 3 - track our spending. We have gotten lax at this and I know there is some seepage that we need to plug up - I was not so great at this. I need to do better.
#4- save on groceries. I plan to do this by meal planning which will include snacks, cooking ahead as much as I can, using coupons and playing the drug store game and creating a price book. -I didn't even start this.....

I actually did pretty well with this and did post several new recipes. I tried more then I posted about though.
#6 - Continue to sell our unwanted items and my craft projects. Once the car is purchased I hope to transfer this money to a Christmas fund. - I sold $785 in our used\unwanted items this year. I also sold several craft items. I haven't tallied the totals for those yet but will soon.
#7- Take a good look at our bills and see what it is we can really cut and do

#7- Take a good look at our bills and see what it is we can really cut and do
without. - We cut our land line and our cable saving us $96 a month. We also got rid of our old car and my hubby's van he used for his side business. This saved us $80 in insurance costs
#8 - Set small monthly goals in order to achieve these yearly goals! - I think I did ok with this.
All in all I think it was an ok year. I think I did really well in decluttering and making money from that. I hope to continue that this year.
Now on to figuring out 2014 goals :)
