Another One Bites the Dust!

It's official.

I just paid off Student Loan #2.

It feels great. I can't wait to see it hit the $0 mark on the other end.

Time for some Queen: Another one bites the dust!

October Goals & Budget

Yep. Been MIA for over a month. Not cool I know. I bought glasses and what not and then got depressed about my finances and couldn't be bothered to write up a blog. Not to mention being rather tired as I've been working the morning (5-5:30 start) shift. Let's just get to it shall we?

 

*Notes

  1. Rent is off again because I went for a massage in September and the reimbursement from my boyfriend's insurance is coming out of rent.
  2. Got a little spendy on Card #1
  3. Student Loan #2 is higher because that's the amount (give or take a few dollars because of interest) that is left owing on it.
So let's talk about note #3. Loan #2 will be paid off in October barring unforeseen circumstances. It would have been done in September but I had to pay off my glasses so that delayed things.

Also my raise finally went through last month as did my benefits. This first cheque will reflect both of those items for the first time and I'll have a more accurate picture of what my cheques are going to look like.

Goals
  1. Pay off Student Loan #1
  2. Get my house organized and clean
  3. Reduce my sugar intake
  4. Hula Hoop daily
  5. Continue doing Duolingo daily
  6. Make time to knit at 3x a week
So yeah. Been drinking a Coke a day again. These early mornings have been rough so I've resorted back to the Coke. Starting to get used to them so hoping to reduce my intake again. This is a constant battle. Also decided to refresh my French skills after hearing good things about Duolingo (a free app I've got on my iPad mini. I started back in September and things are coming back. I shall probably do a post about it this month.

An ambitious month but seeing as I've been lacking in ambition lately it's probably the kick I need.
