November 2011 Review

Normally I include a little graph showing the progress on one of our financial goals for 2011, which is to have $1,000 in each of our 4 accounts. Since I’ve already accepted that this goal will not be met this year, and also because it would look almost identical to last month’s graph, I’ve left it out. I just haven’t been saving much in those accounts because it’s all been going to Christmas savings instead. Below, you will find my earnings and savings for November 2011.

    • I WISH! It’s the $2 and $1 daily transfers every weekday added up. That would be d@mn awesome though if I could transfer 66 bucks every weekday. :-)
