Dolly's Diary 2022 and Onwards

2022 and I've decided it's time to start from scratch on MSE. 

I've been a previous user for a long time but I am back at square one so closed my old account and started again (same username). 

Looking forward to earning my badges again!

My aim for this new diary is the following;
  • Be debt free by March 2025
  • Have an Emergency Fund (EF)
  • Get rid of all credit cards (CC)
  • Organise my funds better each month
  • Save for expected annual bills
  • Shop around for the best deals
  • Surveys, surveys, surveys
  • Birthdays and Christmas 2022 all purchases either in the sale or paid for by survey earnings
  • Remember its a marathon not a sprint
  • Pick up good financial habits and stick to them
  • Shop for wants and not needs
  • Stick to a better budget for groceries and meal plan
  • Usual life time struggle of trying to get to goal weight and then staying there
  • Be better organised at home with shopping, chores and all that fun stuff
  • Stop spending a fortune on toys for the dog
  • Enjoy life in between all of this
I'm waiting on my statements being produced on 24th or 25th January before I can sit down and put a proper plan in place. 

Can't wait to get my funds in order, will take a while and I am good with that.

Dolly
