oh my word, the internet!
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 :woop:

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.
