February was a full month, with a ski week thrown in, on top of lots of school soccer, playoffs & the start of the tennis season. Work has also been a ride!
Financial:
- Achieve savings goals (401K, Nick's 529, Sam's college)
- 401K - on track
- Boys college - $5k saved, on track
- Earn $200 in side hustle - I made $475 in February. I started listing a lot more on FB Marketplace, and dropped the prices pretty low (no fees or shipping). That seemed to work really well. Additionally, I had a settlement come through, and received a Rakuten rebate.
- Use up one bag of freezer burritos + a bag of cranberries. I made good progress, using up:
- one bag of cranberries
- Two of six freezer burritos
- Two containers of pesto pasta
- Two cans of green beans
Family:
- Review college spreadsheet with Sam, & help him with his decisions - yes, and we did a college tour
- Host senior soccer night - yes, done!
- Plan one fun activity with the boys - we did a ski trip
- Optimize points, perks, miles, etc to keep travel costs in check - swapped Whistler for Tahoe, got very inexpensive hotel rooms thanks to M's perks, and used travel credits to book flights for an April college tour
Fitness:
- Stretch 2x/week - 6/8 days of stretching
- Lose 2 lbs - ugh, still no progress
- Follow training plan for half marathon - yes, minus ski week
- Strength train 8 times - 6/8 strength workouts, as I was more focused on running in February
- Follow the No S diet - I only managed to follow this a handful of days in February
Personal:
- Get together with a friend - met a friend for coffee, and went for a hike with another friend
- Practice Farsi 10 times - yes, 20 times in fact!
- Declutter 50 items from the house - yes, I got rid of 78 items
- Find a pickle ball class - yes, it starts in March & M & I are registered
- Take the class - The Science of Well Being - I'm a week behind after our ski trip, but otherwise on track
What about you? How did you do with your February goals? Any wins to celebrate, or goals you're carrying over to next month?
College is so expensive especially if you don't get and athletic scholarship, or you don't come from a poor family. That was the only thing about being poor that was good for us. Free college, but boy did those girls work for it.
