Goals for July

 July is definitely going to be an interesting month, with starting a new job, helping Nick get ready for college, and helping Sam figure out if he's going back to OSU, or prefers to stay local & attend community college. I also have friends visiting (yay!), M & Nick are going to Boulder for orientation, and there's just plenty happening at our house. 

Goals for July:

Financial:

  • Spend sign on bonus per the plan, assuming all of this is allowed:
    • Max 401k for the year
    • Max HSA 
    • Max 529 contributions to get the full company match per kid
    • $5000 to my nephew for college
  • Create a new budget, based on new paycheck amont
  • Meal plan, and avoid takeout/eating out unless planned. I want to focus on this, especially as I don't know my work schedule, when/if I'm going to the office, etc. 

Family:
  • Get Nick's college prep sorted as much as possible, & finish required orientation tasks.
  • Have a fabulous visit with my sister + BFF, who are visiting mid-month
  • Help Sam decide on fall plans
  • One date night with M
Fitness:
  • Lose 2 lbs
  • 15, 15, 15 - strength workouts, No S days, and meditations
  • Figure out a new workout routine for my work schedule
  • Average 12,500 steps/day
Personal:
  • Get together with friends x2 
  • Say yes to adventure & try new things
  • Figure out new work schedule/transition, & get settled into new job
  • Declutter 50 items
What about you? What are you hoping to accomplish in July?

  1. Excellent goals to launch your new career. It's wonderful to have the means to support family. No where near to this extent, but we're all helping my niece with food for her daughters grad party, saving her a bit if money but moreso stress.
