I’m terribly late with posting my goals for the month, but as always I’ve been plugging away since March 1st. After reviewing my past monthly goals posts, I’ve realized they are in desperate need of a makeover, so I’m trying something new this month with how I’m listing them. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new layout!
This month is a unique one because I received my tax refund and I’m headed to Dubai and Abu Dhabi next week. Buying my (fourth) new laptop also hit the list despite how badly I just wanted to sock that money away into savings. It’s also both mine and my BF’s birthday month, so there were some additional line items added it to cover those expenses. It’s a pretty busy month all around!
March 2013 Goals
Financial Goals:
- Save at least $1,200 in long-term savings
- Bring in at least $2,000 in freelance/blog income
- Fully fund the remaining costs of my Dubai trip
Household Goals:
- Work with neighbors to do some building repairs (cedar shingle replacement, install motion sensor lights, have roof inspected)
- Get the damn chairs for the office reno
- Re-caulk/grout master bath tub/shower
Personal Goals:
- Keep running 3 times/week
- Research plane tickets for Kauai trip
- Reach out to one old friend
Blog Goals:
- Increase to 1,300
- Increase to 1,100
- Increase to 300
Good luck with your goals!
Thank you–same to you!

One of my goals for the year was to run a half-marathon in under two hours. I'm running that this Sunday and posting an update about my experience next week. Hopefully I can check that one off the list.
Love it! Good luck this weekend–I'll be sure to read the recap.
I always remind myself, "strong mind; strong legs" during distance runs…works like a charm every time
Great goals, I know you can achieve them! I just liked your page on FB. P.S. Can I come to Kauai too?!?

Have fun in Dubai!!!
Thank you! I'm so excited–I definitely want to go 4x4ing in the desert and ride a camel…haha
I think I might add a freelancing/extra income goal. I think $2000 is pretty great. I might set a goal for $1000, since I just started freelance writing this weekend.

Oh wow–congrats on the next step; very exciting! I think $1K is an awesome goal especially if you've just started!
