1/4 of the way there!!

After an exciting evening of finding out what color bras my friends wear, I am now settling down to write about serious things--Disneyworld! My fund growth was a little slow over Christmas (couponing takes more time than my busy project list over Christmas allows; although I saved more money this year than in the past because I started eating what was in the freezer and only buying groceries needed for Christmas food stuff), but I am on the couponing track again and plan to save tons of money!! Today was $70something at Harris Teeter! Yeah! And Nathan gave it a boost in the arm by donating a big portion of his Christmas money to the cause. He and Camden get money from CA relatives at Christmas and I let them spend some and the rest put into their savings. This time, the savings is for DW! And since Nathan decided to do this, I figured Camden would want to follow suit. So as of today, the total we have is $544.85. I don't think we will need $2000 if we plan it right with the meal deals, etc, but just in case, I want to save $2000. I started in Sept so I am a little behind if I need $500 every 3 months, but still feel good about the amount.

So that is my update. Hopefully I will be able to tell you soon that we are at $1000. It feels GOOD to be saving money.

  1. Nathan is so sweet! And i'm sure Camden really wanted to give toward the fund instead of buying a Thomas toy :)
