I need to start it myself. I need a calendar to remind me what week i'm on. <br />Good luck on your saving goals! I usually never make resolutions but i did make one this year. I am putting down my ipad at 8pm and reading my books instead. I'm starting my 4th book this week already.

"You know I don't loan money to people who can't pay it back". <br />So, I never take money out of my savings. Lately things are good and I'm able to put a few more dollars in the bank.

I spent too much on Christmas (22 people in our extended family that I buy for, with five grown kids, four of their spouses, 12 grandchildren and my husband), so I need to come up with a better plan! I do shop throughout the year, make some gifts, and buy on eBay, but it still amounts to a lot of money. <br />The good part is that I have managed to stay debt free, but savings has been neglected. <br /><br />I will be following your ideas, and gleaning what works for me.<br /><br />nancyrEchoes From the Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012454336216415478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-42313328041373220732014-01-08T08:34:41.009-06:002014-01-08T08:34:41.009-06:00Good for you, Pat.
