things I'm saving up for...
okay, there are many things I need to save money for and I want to post them here to remind myself.
1. new pots/pans- get rid of the old ones that are scratched and old and yucky and beat/bent up-been married 9 years and they are showing their age quite a bit
2. new yard swing-old one looks like it should be in the dump-I'd like a three person one so I can be really lazy and take the whole thing up while reading!
3. pretty area rug for my guest bedroom- sweet old whinnie the pooh one that hubby gave me when I was living in my sad little apartment is falling apart and leaves dust from the backing all over the floor
4. curtains for guest bedroom. lived in my house for 5 years and haven't bought any yet.
5.help hubby pay of brand new refrigerator (this should be first priority)
6. new furniture for living room had been a pretty high priority but living room has sort of turned into a dining room for the time being. I might leave it this way for a while. until I know what I *really* want to do with this room
7. need to save up money for my dentistry work that needs to be done. I was supposed to get a temp crown tomorrow but I called the office to see what I'd have to pay at the visit and even with insurance this visit would be $439!!! I swear the medical world is on crack.
ETA: 8. how could I forget about an emergency fund? Hubby and I really need to work on this.
a couple of weeks ago I snitched some paperwork off of a printer about debt/savings/financial goals and i copied it and then put the originals back on the printer. It is just generic stuff from a website but it is pretty neat. it gives you a way to plan your paychecks and short term goals and long term goals.
