Goals

Well I have been so depressed all winter! I'm not sure if it's because most of the people in Northern Idaho are so rude, or if it's that I have been so depressed that I maxed out all of our credit cards? All I know is that I really want to change my life completely and get all of our debt paid off this year! To do this I have some goals that I know will work!

1. No more than $50 A WEEK for groceries, that's for a family of 3
2. Sell as much as I can on Ebay and half.com. Clean out all the closets to acomplish this goal. And put HALF of this money to credit cards and HALF to unexpected family expenses.
3. See if I can get more hours to work at my friends scrapbook store, and put EVERY PENNY towards credit card bills!
4. Do instead of BUY! Really look at what we are buying, and what we can do without buying!
5. Stay home more so that the oil companies don't get as much of my money.
6. Use up what craft supplies I have at home instead of going out and buying things whenever I "think" I need them for a project.
7. Shop at home first for anything that I think I just HAVE to HAVE!
8. Start really following the Flylady.com! A clean house always makes me feel better.
9. More library, less buying books, paying to rent movies, and buying cd's.
10. Less Starbucks!!! This is my biggest weakness!!!!!!

I will try and post how I do with these goals every week so that you can see my progress. I hope that you will also follow along at home with me!
