My Goals for July 2012

Financial Goals:

  1. Contribute $25.00 to our Roth IRA each paycheck.
  2. Save $200.00 in our Emergency Fund.
  3. Save $50.00 in our Travel Fund.
  4. Automatically transfer 50% over our Root Income right to savings at least once this month.

Blogging Goals:

  1. Do at least another 40% of fixing my weird site structure that I messed up when I knew absolutely nothing about blogging.
  2. Come up with some ideas for a new banner—feel free to help me out here. I wanted something with zombies (because I like them), but everybody says that’s a bad idea. Zombies don’t really have anything to do with personal finance or my blog name; so I have no clue what to do with the banner.
  3. Helping others: Tweet at least 20 great posts I find on other blogs.
  4. Helping others: Retweet at least 10 tweets I like.

Personal Goals:

  1. Lose 5 pounds this month.
  2. At least watch the yoga DVDs I bought last month.
  3. Get my wedding rings re-sized this month, they don’t really stay on anymore. I wish it didn’t take them so long (2-3 weeks) to do it; I guess I’ll be single for a couple weeks. 😉
  4. Read 3 or more books this month to stay on track for one of my 2012 goals.

My Goals 4 July 2012 — 8 Comments

  1. Perhaps you can use the “Art” and the “Savings” and have a character at an art easel painting money? I’m terrible at that sort of thing too, though, so don’t take my word for it.

  2. There’s a book called Zombie Economics: A Guide to Personal Finance! I have yet to read it, but I thought I would mention it. :)

    Good luck on your goals this month!

  4. Change your tag line to include something about zombies instead of saying simply, “It all adds up!” But, definitely do what you want. People will definitely remember a PF blog with zombies.
