Waste My Time

I’m excited for 2012 and all the changes and experiences that are going to take place, not to mention the adventure I’m going to have living in my new place. Less then a month till I receive the keys.

Financial:

• Put $100 aside each month to start an emergency fund. $1,200 isn’t a lot but since I won’t know how much my bills will be costing me I figured I should start out small.
• Keep my bank account above $1,500 (as to avoid being charged the service fee). As much as I hate not having access to this money, I hate having to pay $3.95 a month just to access it.
• Decorate my new house for under $3,000. I won’t be rushing into decorating any time soon, so I plan to do a lot of shopping around and hope I get the best deal.

Personal:

• Lose 50 pounds by December 31st 2012. I’m doing Weight Watchers, teaching myself how to run and I’ll be doing various workouts while using the gym so I hope this is obtainable.
• Take some photography classes // use my Camera more often. I want to be able to take my camera off the auto setting.
• Cook at least 5 new meals a month and blog about it. I will be living on my own, so I’m going to try my hardest to accomplish this.
• Set up a Household Management Binder and actively use my Day Planner and Calendar.  This will help me stay organized (I Hope)
• Visit my grandparents at least twice a month, or invite them over to my place. This goal does not invoke seeing my Nonna as I see her almost daily since some of my mail is delivered to her place.
