All about ME and MY future!

Updated December 22,2016

In January 2015 I bought my first home. My goal is to pay it off in under 20 years. My preferred goal is 15 years so the house would paid off when I am eligible to retire from my career (at 55) but would be happy with anything under 20 years.

My housemate moved out in early December. After a few small changes to the house I will be looking for a new roommate in 2017.

I also own a small business that I started in 2006. This is a company I would like to run in my retirement (planning for July 2029 at 55).

Today is going to be a no spend day - sort of.

I do owe my colleague for lunch today. We are working on a major project and I'd planned to go home for lunch when she offered to pick something up for us at Chipotle to save some time. So tomorrow I will pay her for lunch today since I haven't picked up my allowance for February from the bank.

Tomorrow my housemate and I are going the dinner/movie place. When I bought some Christmas gifts I received 6 movie passes for free movies.

I gave one set to my sister and her fiancé in addition to the gifts they received. I need to use 4 of them by February 11. We will use two tomorrow (and I will get popcorn and a soda) and then maybe use the other two on Monday with a friend of mine so a little bit of planned spending all coming from my allowance.

I need to do two grocery shops this weekend on Sunday - perfect for a few things and a super bowl treat. I only sort of watch and plan to finish a crochet project on Sunday.
