Ahh, we're terrible for saving.

Little victory: I was very good with my spending money the first half of the month. I had $130 left and almost rewarded myself by adding it to my spending money for the second half of the month. Instead, I rewarded myself by adding it to my savings account. So proud of myself, it feels just as good as buying something!

Christmas really took it's toll on my savings! Current balance: $5,600. I so wish there were nice houses on the market around here that would keep me motivated to save, but they are all pretty yuck! I just have to keep telling myself that I need to be ready when the right one comes along, and keep saving!

Well, in exactly 1 year we were able to complete our first savings goal.

We saved up enough money to buy a house, bought it, and have since replenished our "emergency fund" of $5,000. 2011 Check!

2012 Here me come! This year, our goal is to pay of all our our unsecured debts (credit cards and 1 car loan) and have the wedding and honeymoon of our dreams--paid for in cash. The debt is about $16,000; the wedding and honeymoon combined will be about $10,000 (small wedding of about 80 guests & 2 weeks in Hawaii). That means that we will need to set aside about 36% of our income for these costs.

It kind of seems impossible now, but if you don't shoot for the moon, how can you ever reach the stars?, Right?

When I go for walks I usually find change. I am just going to keep doing that for my savings right now. It goes into a big plastic container :)

I am saving to move out. I can not wait. I am so excited. I know it will take some time. I love my job but it is not very consistent when I do get clients. But when I do get paid it is a lot so hopefully I can make it happen.

I'm planning on moving to Montana, and i really need to start saving money. I've started a monthly budget and anything that it left over goes to the moving expenses. If you have any tips or tricks, please share =)
