Progress Report for week ended -4/27/08

So again my goal for this month has been a singular one:

Add $3000 into Wedding Savings account.

So far it's been kind of rough going. Although my fiancee hasn't done that much to help this month I really have no one to blame but myself for my Thus far disappointing results. So far I believe we've put together about $700 for the account - at the same time the fiance did find a good deal on a caterer so that should save us about $1000 or so.

I think next month I'll switch back to either a multi-goal format or more specific goals because I think I may be a little over-optimistic to think I can raise $2,300 in the next 48 hrs.

Progress Report for the Week ended 4-20-08

Here is the goal for April:

Add $3000 into Wedding Savings account.

So far it looks like we may be falling short of this goal by a bit. We've currently added about $321 to this account at this point. We've been a little bit hampered by moving as well as moving expenses.

I personally am 80% moved in at this point. But I need to do things such as switch over Internet service (I'm at my new neighborhood library currently) and redo my address before I can completely regain focus.

Luckily a few weeks ago my fiance & my fiance's mother were able to lock down catering for just under a grand so that should save us at least $300 bucks. I also already reserved and paid for the honeymoon so that's another variable we can put to rest. Once everything's moved in - we should be able to re-focus.

Progress report - for week ended 4/13/08

Here again is the goal for April:

1. Add $3000 into Wedding Savings account.

Well so far I personally have made $221 of progress in this area. Hopefully, the fiance will start contributing some too. I read a great book by Dan Kennedy the NO B.S. 'guy' and it turns out I actually know someone he quotes in the book. Small world.

I've been trying to sell some of dust-collecting junk but, at the same time I'm trying to move as well. This is not an excuse I'm just saying. OK maybe it is an excuse i need to cut that out I guess.

March Results/April Goals

So I made a bit of progress in the past month.

Goals by the end of March 2008 -

1. Decide on a part-time business to focus on for at least 2 months. - FAILURE - to be quite honest I have not had enough time to focus on a business - or maybe it is I just have not devoted enough time to that focus. Either way I have not yet found the million-dollar get rich quick on night's and weekends scheme that I've been dreaming of.
   
2. Save $2750 or more into Wedding savings account. - SUCCESS - I met this goal and then some. If I had a little more help from the misses we could have doubled this goal but, you'll hear no complaints from me.
   
3. Do local and regional taxes - SUCCESS - I did them - mailing them is another thing altogether.
   

Now here come the goal(s) for April:

1. Add $3000 into Wedding Savings account.

I'm going to try something a little bit different this month. Instead of focusing on a lot of little goals to get muddled I will focus on one slightly impossible goal. We'll see how that works out.
