#2 save money for travel adventures....

(big money! hehe)

oh goodness.. this should be easy if you can imagine how i dO want us to travel and really see and experience new life adventures!!
(like to Europe! A visit to see my brother is way overdue!! & take the boyz to HAWAII!! - Both on my must do list!!)



but .




But i am a girl with immediate needs! (well some may say impulsive) i see the fix and buy it! My hubby says, i want to dO everything. humm, well maybe?



... so, what is the plan?? .. or rather how am i going to execute this plan?? and how does one determine wants & needs.. living and live without's.. good grief.




i think i best go about it the same way i buy or rather, have bought for Christmas presents in the past.

Make a list of all the who's. .. Break it down into whats and would like to gets.. Look at the amount your hubby wants to keep the budget at... and then replace that with yours. ((LOL))
Then keep that list in mind throughout the year.. so that come December you have only the last minute things, not entire families, (which in my life was not just 5 - smile) This had helped me immensely.


So we have a travel plan for 2012. i have a list of what still needs to be done on this end, which i should rewrite a few more times .. My bro is working on our itinerary and lodging for the adventure. So with our basic living budget in place,, and the monthly savings in the mattress.. we should be ready in a year!! (budget, being the key word) .... i think we have a household budget plan that worked really well a year or so ago... it must be somewhere around here!?! .. where did i put that?? oh dear it may have gotten misplaced in a bin of sorts. BAHAHA..


ok. seriously.


right. getting back on track.


i think Sheldon may have a copy. i suppose if i really want this to happen i'll need to tell him i want that lovely budget back. -ick- i am so excited.

((maybe i will wait until next payday. HAHAHA -jk-))

... not really excited about my hunky husband sounding or looking sooo excited. ..

~oye~

(that's a lie-i am excited)

seriously

when i think of what we are working for.. i am very excitied!!

although, wouldn't it be nice if we just came into some extra moola !?! hehe
