I didn’t mind cooking but it has become so intense now that I have 5 mouths to feed. Lol Have you ever tried a meal service like hello fresh? I tried once and would do it again but you have to stay on top of it or they will send you something you didn’t even order.
I have been working towards having a group of 2 weeks of recipes and so then I order groceries for curbside every 2 weeks and no thought goes into the food planning
Is there something you can do about mealplanning? Could you do some kind of mealservice? I mean if it’s cheaper than takeout and convienient for you maybe it could help? Maybe try over the summer when you seem really busy? This month my goal is to get back to track my expenses because I feel like we make a lot of money but we don’t have any savings? Where does all our money go? 💸💸💸 i’m also trying to digitize my budget and expense tracking. We’ll see if I like it or not… Today is the day I formelly start my ”new” job and get my $1000 pay raise 🤑🤑 Will use this raise for our emergency fund!
Jan great eating at home Feb meh April 🤦🏼♀️ awful May I’ve made my meal plan and have my grocery list ready I’ve cooked all week (so far) I want to read so much more I finished two books but am in the middle of three (2 are a tandom read and one is I needed something easy to read so started that one) sometimes it’s easier to watch mindless tv
I can't beleive it's almost May! This year is flying by. I am working on maxing out my ROTH as well. I need to pick up the pace a but on that as I have only put $1,200 towards it. I am also working on not putting things on my credit card because I forget and then the balance builds. Overall, I am doing great with my budget!
I love a goal check-in. You are doing great! You are in a very busy season of your life! I made a goal to read 100 books an I have finished 40 so I am on track for that one. Also I am doing well getting on my treadmill nearly every single day. We have the iFit program and we love it so much. Walking all over the world! I was doing really good eating more healthy foods and now I am failing miserably at that. Going to try to refocus for May! Also I want to try to brush my dog's teeth every day and for some reason I just can't seem to get it done.
You need those ! Help ! I don’t want to cook frozen or quick meals at least once a week ! I have meal planned for years and most of the time it helps my budget the most ! Glenda
I am planning those vacations we are taking in July and August ! It takes a lot of time and money to coordinate rooms ( we need 4 bedrooms) for 7 people in London and Edinburg BUT a I am getting there ! Airbnb and vrbo for the wins ! We can cook and rest with living rooms and at least two bathrooms ! So far so good !glenda
We are behind on maxing out our roths. But I'm at 27 books read out of my 100 goal. And we have almost all of the money we need saved for our vacation in July :)
