2011 Supah Dupah SAVINGS Extravaganza!!!!!

[VivaciousJewelz]

BTW Julie...I do love the name of this one! My granddaughter (7...going on 30!) uses that term alot. But she pronounces it differently! She says, "Supah Dupah!!" As in...It's Supah Dupah cold out today!" LOL!

Check out the title now!

Hey! Maybe alot of challenges is a good thing! My mom always said, "don't put all your eggs in one basket".

But..if I'm living off the stockpile, I have to put them somewhere!!!

And...if I'm decluttering, shouldn't they all be in one place?

And...if I'm going to lose weight, I probably shouldn't eat too many eggs in the first place.

But...eggs are kind of cheap, so they might help me save that $1000!

OMG...I'm so confused!!!

Me too!!!! Maybe if I keep myself busy doing all these challenges, I won't have time to slack off on any of them!

Show-off!!! Good job!

Sorry! I'll try not to be an over achiever, I swear

Well...
I had a minute to pass my simple goal by my Darling Husband.
Of course he calls me Debbie Downer
and that I am relentless
and to give it a rest...

Then he tells me how his help has broken the hydraulics hose on the tractor for the shovel
moving the bail of hay for the horses...

And I can just imagine how much that's going to cost us

You can do it cody! You aren't a downer. Or relentless. You're smart! Build your savings! Pay your debt! We're all behind you 100%!

Oh, and might I add that those of us who are saving- Cody runs "Live Off Your Stockpile" challenges every month (she's brilliant with keeping track of spending, etc) that a lot of people participate in (including myself) over in the "Stockpiling" forum, so if you haven't joined before, you may wanna check it out as well!

Thanks for the plug!

I had to re-read a few times but I got it. We have ourselves a poet here!

I'm in for $5,000 in EF for the year. Then $6,000+ for the house we are going to start looking for at the end of this year. Like everyone else we had a EF built up and tons of things popped up that we had no control over. Still have some money put back but it's not enough for me. Like I stated in the stockpile thread-I worry about money excessively.

Since I am spender, I really need to work on saving as well. I don't worry about money too much because DH handles all the bills and covers my butt all the time.

I own my own tax business and by this time every year, I usually have the first 2 weeks of January booked up and am working on week 3. Well, as of right now, I have 4 appointments for the first day and nothing else. I have gotten several phone calls with questions and it seems like most of my clients have been unemployed for most if not all of the year.

So, with that being said, I better get my brain geared to saving and scrimping as much as I can. It is my responsibility to pay the house payment every month, then I just bought a car, and I want to pay that off this year, so my goal is..... $38k. Anything over that will be AWESOME!!!! But, I am not anticipating it.... To be honest, I am not even anticipating making my goal, but I wanted to go big so I have something to reach for.

Glad to have you both!

You know, it's funny b/c I'm a spender, and then I spend too much money, and then I worry over the amount of money I have left and how to make it stretch until payday... so I'm like a combo of you two.
