About Me:

Buendia

I am a 55-year-old architect, and I live in New Mexico with my husband D, daughter F and a sweet black dog. I used to track our toilet paper usage (and how often I buy dental floss, and our grocery bills and a lot of other things, too) and that is how we paid off our mortgage early. I still track every dollar and dime we spend.

FINANCIAL GOALS

- Retirement - $7000 for D and $7000 for me - AUTOMATED!

- College savings
$350/month already budgeted
total saved to date: $31,822.99

- Mortgage was ELIMINATED in 2017.

- Car Savings - continue putting in $150 per month (automatic withdrawal)

- Amount to 401K = 25% of my husband's gross salary
- Amount to SEP = 25% of my gross salary

Picking up another hour at the gym?

December 17th, 2013 at 05:50 pm

Got paid for teaching at the gym today. So... a $40 snowflake, going to mortgage principal.

Now that I've redone the budget for 2014, I have $115/month earmarked for mortgage principal. This is in addition to the snowflakes.

And, I just got an offer at the gym yesterday - they want me and my friend L to co-teach a noon weightlifting class on Wednesdays. I was thinking it could be fun, another chance to work out and I'd get paid more. And L and I would alternate weeks, so it's not that often.
