Update

December 3rd, 2021 at 01:56 am

Prior to leaving my job, I decided to give our new budget a trial run. That was for October and November. So far, we've been able to follow the budget and we even had a bit of a surplus in certain areas. It takes decipline to keep track, but as the CFO in our household, I am determined to make this work. I managed to make some money right after my last day of work. We are also cash flowing a winter vacation and accomodations are already paid and car rental is covered as well. I have $300 cash for spending money; the goal is between $500-800. We plan to cook most of our meals in the condo we rented. This vacation is basically to get away from the cold for a few weeks. I will also be traveling for my Mom's 80th birthday at the end of March. I want to make as much money as I can between now and then.   I made another contribution to my Roth IRA ($250).

    Enjoy your trip! One thing I have learned since retiring with a small monthly budget (and no debt) is that I can still enjoy life, take a vacation now and then, and cover all of my needs. The freedom is the best!
