The goal for this monthly accountability meeting is to give updates on our progress, motivate one another, and help all of us save for a cash Christmas. Our monthly goal for Christmas savings is $100. I also needed to come up with August''s goal of $100 for a total of $200 for the month. Happy 4 months til Christmas!
