How does a month fly by without me checking in? I will never know! So much has happened this past month. Southwest FINALLY announced flights thru the end of March 2020. I bought all of our plane tickets. You can read more about how I saved $227.00 on those here. The plane tickets where super expensive almost double what I predicted. I am so relieved to have 1/4 of my goal taken care of. If you have been reading along for any length of time you know I am very goal oriented. I have broken down the total cost into 4 smaller goals.
*Goal 1 was plane tickets. – DONE
*Goal 2 is the hotel. Need $1500.00 after down payment.
*Goal 3 is park tickets.
*Goal 4 is spending money and the food budget.
Swagbucks is one FIRE! It always picks up this time of the year. I was still working SB but kind of limping along doing the bare minimum. I needed a kick in the pants to get me working it. Nothing gets me motivated more then telling the whole wide world my goals. We launched a Couponing To Christmas Reboot. That was just what I needed!
* I am splitting my earning between Universal and Christmas. I am not including earnings that where included on the Couponing to Christmas post.
