Doing poo poo for myself: -Grow and maintain emergency fund at $15K. Nearly there ($13.5K). -Automatic deposit into separate savings account for semiannual expenses like home/car repair, vet bills, etc. $150/mo. -Save up $1.7K in cash for a ring (should complete by next month). -Put $3K in Roth IRA (already 2/3 there). -Grow side business to minimum 1/3 of my net annual income. Pay business expenses entirely from the business itself and not my personal funds. -Save up $1K for Dragon Con and a couple other trips. When I've saved up for my ring, I can divert some of those savings here, I guess. I originally planned to quit my day job and work full time on my own business, but I don't think that's feasible now, and tbh I'm reluctant to give up a steady income and benefits in the forthcoming Age of Darkness. Doing poo poo for others: -$100/mo. for my niece's college fund. -$30/mo. for a friend's phone bill until she's back on her feet. -$50/mo. for charity bc poo poo I care about is in trouble now. -Go to my sister's wedding and be a bridesmaid I'm not good at tracking my spending down to the last penny, and honestly I'm not gonna try this year. I know what I spend on average in a month, and I almost always come in under budget. My day-to-day life is pretty spartan so I don't spend a lot of money.
