1 week to go!

I am starting to get nervous about this endeavor. With just over a week to go, I still have not made final decisions on many aspects of this budget and spending habits. I still have tasks to get done to set myself up for success.

Here is where we stand so far as completed:
  • budget finalized
  • paid off all bills except 1 - completing this week
  • purchased items for my "super saver binder"
  • cleaned off the office desk
  • canceled satellite TV service for end of billing cycle
  • purchased Internet ready blu-ray disc player
  • signed up for a free trial of Netflix
Here is what I still need to get done:
  • set up filing system for ALL of my receipts
  • set up tracking system in Excel to ensure I am following my budget
  • set up "super saver binder"
  • find my debit card and redo the PIN so I can use it
  • cancel home phone service
  • set up weekly/monthly meal planner
  • reorganize my wallet/purse for optimal saving/spending habits
  • make a final decision on how I will use my credit cards - this means researching the new terms and conditions regarding non use fees
Tonight I intend on knocking at least a few of these items off of my to-do list. I will try to post my budget on Friday!
