Yesterday I watched the third video in I Am that Lady’s Financial Renovation Mini course, the Financial Blueprint. I really liked this segment because I lined up things in a list, which I like. Some of the things on the list are things I’m already doing, but luckily there are always ways to improve.
So this is my list from my Financial Blueprint of new things I will work on in 2016:
- Being on the same page with my spouse by having a meeting on the last Saturday or Sunday of the month.
- Sell stuff-I have a lot of stuff to sell from homeschooling curriculum to extra bikes. I also had been thinking about buying and selling things on Facebook, Craigslist, etc. I used to do this a long time ago, and stopped because it was time consuming, but if I do it to beef up our Emergency Fund there will be purpose not “just for fun”
- Think about my future. This is something I have never really done. So I think its important to start writing things down! We are not getting younger!
Then here are the things to improve on:
- cutting coupons-being more proactive about cutting and using them
- meal planning- getting motivated on a weekly basis.
- monthly bill reduction-always looking on how to lower our bills.
I just got an email that these videos are only available til Monday (January 11th). I was hoping to re-watch them now and then. Bummer.
