I love new beginnings…except when it comes to whatever I am saving for! We like to pretend that Candyland is really DisneyLand. If only getting to DisneyLand was as easy as getting to CandyLand. After weeks of seeing my Universal fund sit pretty. It is a little depressing to start all over but it is what it is. If you have been around for any length of time you know I LOVE goals! Time to start breaking down my huge honking goal into small bite size ones. Below is my breakdown of budget.
If you missed my announcement last week of where I am Couponing To Next you can read it here.
Plane tickets – $2,000 ($400 per person)
DisneyLand package with hotel & tickets – $3665.04
Food – $1500.00
Souvenirs – $200.00
Total: $7565.04
For the plane tickets I would like to earn the money needed by the end of this year. That gives me 8 months to make that happen. If you break it down by the monthly amount needed it is $250.00. That comes out to $62.50 per week. I like to have both a monthly and weekly goal. Some weeks are going to feel like I am rolling in the dough. Other weeks not so much. On those weeks that aren’t so awesome it is nice to be able to look at my monthly goal and see if I am on track or not. 99.99% of the time my monthly goal will be on track or better than expected.
4/18 – 4/24
Swagbucks – $25.00
Ibotta – $36.25
Total: $61.25
