New Year Resolutions for DFW's....

Little_bit_dizzy

Great new thread! My plans are:

1. Meal plan every week
2. Batch cook where possible
3. Continue 'Finance Spreadsheets' :doh:
4. Pay all bonus payment (Jan 11) to CC1 _pale_
5. Ebay the clutter from my life without buying more 'stuff'

General rule: be aware of every penny spent...

Ooh I love a good plan! Thanks for asking as it's made me have a think.

I plan to:

• be debt free (consumer) by the time I'm 30 (26th Apr)
• save steadily aiming for £5000 (by 31.12.11)
• meal plan/online grocery shop better!
• get a more balanced view of debt - ie going into overdraft for some shoes is not good, going into debt for OU course is acceptable (though not preferable).
• keep a close eye on spreadsheets to avoid the starve/binge cycle I seem to get into with money

I know some of my targets aren't "SMART" as such, but I find myself denying myself anything that costs money and then blindly buying things I don't even want in some mad panic.

Oh one more thing

Ebay things I don't need! Hopefully make enough money to go towards holiday or driving lessons!

oooooooooo what a lovely thread - I resolutions

ok

• stay debt free
• give up smoking
• get back into running
• continue to save £350 each month into my ISA
• aim to save £500 in my VSP for xmas next year

I think that'll do me. Better to achieve a few things than fail at loads!

I want to clear my credit card, and save some money in preparation for trying for a baby. I can't wait!

Ooh, I like this thread :j

• Re-think my budget with my new salary (just got promoted) making sure I've got a realistic amount of money for everything but that I'm still saving a large chunk.
• Keep focused on saving, hopefully about £650 a month.
• Save for 2 holidays- skiing and a sun hol somewhere
• Start educating myself about the house buying process
• de-clutter my house and life a bit, maybe make a bit of money in the process!
