Hello Everyone! I am just writing a quick note to maybe spark some ambition in all of you! I have finished all of my charting and math for the year of 2010 here is what I spent, and saved all year long:
Total: $14,074.57
Money Actually Spent: $4,453.23
Money Saved: $9621.34
Now the money saved includes all of the coupon's I used, and rewards program earnings: like Extra Bucks from CVS, Wellness Rewards from Rite Aid ect., and any gift card's I have earned from participating in things like Swagbucks, any of my survey sites, Veiwpoint's, ect,
Now keep in mind- this includes all of my household spending: Food, Personal Items, Cleaning Product's- EVERYTHING that you buy for yourself, your family, and your home! So basically these total's only exclude bill's like Electricity, Gas, Phone, Cable, Rent, ect.
So I hope this makes everyone open their eye's as to what the possibilities are! Because here's the thing- you can always do better- think of this like a game, something you are constantly working on getting better at, and you will!
So I am pretty proud of myself, but I know I can do better- so i think that my next step here is making goals- Me and my Fiancé are going to come up with an amount that we are going to stick to to spend weekly on household product's. We'll see how everything turns out!
Okay- My Mom thinks these amounts are crazy- She still thinks this is a lot of money but I explained to her that these total's include EVERYTHING I have bought From small purchases like Shampoo, all the way to big purchases like my new Dining Room table, including (BUT NOT LIMITED TO- MOM!) Clothing, Food, Toy's, Gift's, Baby Formula, Diapers, All Baby Needs, Household Cleaning Items, Bedding, Furniture, EVERYTHING EXCEPT BILLS Such as Phone, Cable, Electricity, Gas what have you. It also includes my stockpile which I just started this year! Have anything else to add Ma?
