April turned out to be fairly decent, financially wise for us.
We were able to put an extra $75 into Registered Retirement Savings, had enough money to also fill up our SUV and F150 Truck, was able to put some money aside for some annual fees (that will be coming due in the next couple of months) and we were able to put $170 towards finishing off our back yard, Hubby figured we would need $185 to finish it, so we are only $15 short. That $15 will come from any extra we have at the end of May.
All in all, a great month - financially. I am definitely struggling in the mind set of staying on weight watchers though. I seem to be dedicated more to saving and budgeting money, than I am to sticking with a diet (or new way of eating). I really must get on track. I've noticed that when I'm really focused with a diet, I'm not so good in staying within budget and on the flip side, when I'm really focused on the finances, I'm not so good with the diet.
Hope you can accomplish both this month. It's really easy to focus really hard on one thing and then slack on another goal. We've all been there, good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think that its a struggle to find balance within each part of one's life. I find it hard to balance work, my marriage, my daughter, my finances, weight, and everything else. Every part requires work and a conscious effort. Hopefully you can find that balance with your healthy lifestyle and finances.
