    Default New Year's!



    So have any of you thought about what frugal New Year's resolutions you are going to make? I am going to continue with my monthly emgergency fund, putting money monthly into my RRSP (IRA) and I have to pay off these horrible credit cards. What are your plans for the New Year?

    O, yes! I have been thinking about my frugal New Year Resolutions a lot lately. I have fallen off the frugal wagon, and plan on getting back on Jan 1st. I am excited as well.

    Some of mine:
    *Catch up on all bills
    *Stay caught up
    *Pay truck off
    *Pay at least 3 ccs off
    *Start a freedom account
    *Become more frugal in every way

    I am going to pay off my debt, start contributing again to my RRSP, and build my savings. Personally, I am going to try to find a new hobby, go out more, lose weight and exercise. Enough! I am tired already! LOL!

    I need to hop back on the frugal wagon too. I bought The Complete Tightwad Gazette last year at this time, and I think it's time to read it again

    Other frugal resolutions:

    *cook more from scratch and use less convenience products
    *spend more time couponing and rebating
    *pay down CC's and start an emergency fund
    *save for central air
    *exercise at least 3 times per week
    *get back on Fly Lady's program....I need to get my house back in order!

    Been thinking about this some -
    Use up all those samples of stuff I have before I buy any more shampoo/toothpaste/soap etc.
    Prepare meals ahead of time and freeze (maybe not the monthly thing but at least a few on hand for when I have to work over)
    Do not go to Walmart unless absolutely necessary (spend way to much there)
    Pack lunch and snacks
    Pay off credit card bill and start saving something
