The backstory: In November 2019, my van was in need of new tires and I was debating on whether to get the new tires or start looking for a replacement vehicle. We will work hard to pay this off as early as possible. I like to think that buying a pre-owned vehicle is the best possible scenario. We…took out a car loan.

So we got to work! When that loan was paid off, we put that full monthly amount towards the third loan and this continued until September 2019 when we made our last non-mortgage loan payment. It’s scary to think about where we would be if we hadn’t worked our plan and made the sacrifices prior to March 2020.

Take a pack lunch instead of buying lunch out all the time. Making sure you take your own lunch to work or if you are going out for the day will save you money and also plastic. It is far better for the environment to take a lunch box than buy sandwiches and other items in plastic packaging.

We didn’t have enough cash saved to buy a car without a loan and that wasn’t sitting well with me. In early March before the crazy began, we decided to order the tires and stick with the van for another year or two and save up more funds to buy our next vehicle. Are you working from home? More family time!

2 Additional Goals: If we save the $10k early, we’d like to work on the following 2 goals. If nothing changes, this loan will be paid off by end of 2019, but I’d love to move that up and say adios to this loan! If not, we’ll start saving in 2019. 2018 Update: We’re still working on this step.

We made one big financial goal for 2019 and are striving and working hard to make progress. Our goal for 2019 is NOT to feel deprived, but rather find creative ways to get through the year without unnecessary spending. Do you buy groceries, but have nothing to eat? It’s March 1, and I declare it Mindful March.

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. When that loan was paid off, we put that full amount towards the third loan and this continued until September 2019. We buy reliable vehicle brands that are built to drive for many many years.

One retail innovation we believed would be big in 2017 was the change in how people buy. This has a huge impact on how and where people buy – and how retailers need to adapt omni-channel strategies to include this new purchasing channel. It spans across all aspects of retail from buying, to shipping to even returning merchandise.
