Whether you are looking to save extra money for your emergency fund and potential unexpected expense, a new kitchen, or your kids’ college tuition—you name it—you will require self-discipline and a plan to reach any financial goal. You can even use a budgeting app if you need a little more support reaching your financial goal.

We have some hefty financial goals this year and this is just one more way for me to squeeze more from our budget. For one-time special occasions, ask friends if you can borrow instead of buying new. In January, I only ventured into Target because our daughters wanted to go and spend some of their Christmas gift money.

In November of 2016 we were facing a hefty health insurance premium increase for 2017 that was more than twice what we paid in 2016. Only time will tell and in the mean time, our goal is to lead a healthy lifestyle to hopefully keep our medical expenses as low as possible. Sleepless Nights. We have had one illness so far this year.
