Progress on goals

March 7th, 2011 at 04:20 pm

Our mortgage payments hit on the first, but I haven't had a chance to sit down and blog about it.
US: $411 to principal
UK1: $268
UK2: $56
UK3: $60

All told, $795 down, $244 to go on the March goal.

Also, between regular U.S. savings deposit and UK savings (I guess I took out more than I needed for the repairs, because I had a surplus in the checking account that I moved back to savings), I added $305.24 to the EF. So $1135.64 down, $5864.36 to go on the 2011 EF savings goal.

Other progress this month:
- We hosted our monthly get-together, which was AA's first birthday party. (Smashing success, by the way! I was convinced she'd get overwhelmed and cranky, but it never happened.)

- I donated $60 to my alma mater, bringing the charitable giving total to $205.

- We decided to go to my 15-year college reunion, so I booked the trip yesterday. That means I'm in the process of paying for our second trip in cash (I won't count them as done until we actually go on the trips). The first trip is to San Francisco for 5 days (leaving in less than a week!), and the second trip is to New York (just north of NYC) for 3 days in June. If our finances continue along smoothly, we're going to try and go on a THIRD vacation later in the year! (We've decided to try shorter, less expensive, more frequent vacations, versus the two longer vacations per year that we had been doing.)

So, pretty good progress so far this month!
