July 2012 Goals—Review

July really flew by really quickly, at least for me. Anyway, it’s time to review how I did on my July 2012 goals:

Financial Goals: 3/4 (75%)

#1 Contribute $25.00 to our Roth IRA each paycheck. PASS
#2 Save $200.00 in our Emergency FundPASS
#3 Save $50.00 in our Travel Fund. FAIL (I got confused about whether or not I had done this because it takes a couple of days for the ING transfers to go through. Apparently, it was a deposit at the end of June and not at the beginning of July. I didn’t realize this until it was too late. Oh well.)
#4 Automatically transfer 50% over our Root Income right to savings at least once this month. PASS (I was actually able to save 100% over our root income for both checks in July.)

Blogging Goals: 3/4 (75%)

#1 Do at least another 40% of fixing my weird site structure that I messed up when I knew absolutely nothing about blogging. FAIL (I just couldn’t find the time to work on it at all.)
#2 Come up with some ideas for a new banner. PASS (I came up with a really great one, but there aren’t any zombies in it. It might be a little too bold for some people, but I really like it. Hopefully it won’t upset too many people. It fits my personality WAY more than the other one did, plus I feel it makes a great statement.)
#3 Helping others: Tweet at least 20 great posts I find on other blogs. PASS (Yay! I tweeted 55 great posts in July.)
#4 Helping others: Retweet at least 10 tweets I like. PASS (Even better, I retweeted 14 tweets.)

Personal Goals: 0/4 (0%)

#1 Lose 5 pounds this month. FAIL (I gained 2 pounds this month. I don’t think I worked out at all and ate tons of crap this month.)
#2 At least watch the yoga DVDs I bought last month. FAIL (With all the packing and moving, I don’t even know where the yoga DVDs are.)
#3 Get my wedding rings re-sized. FAIL
#4 Read 3 or more books this month to stay on track for one of my 2012 goalsFAIL (July was just a really busy month and I only read one book)

 

How did you do on your goals? Hopefully better than I did. 😉
