Motivational Monday

February 3, 2020 By: Lucy12 Comments

Not bad for a Monday!

Because sometimes we could all use a little motivation.

Week #5 is here!  Last week I earned $53.88 via Amazon Mturks, bringing our savings to $178.59.  [Read more…]

Week 4 of Motivation Monday~I’m on a roll.  Haha!  Last week I had two deposits from money earned via Amazon Mturks.  My total came to $30.70, bringing me to a total of $124.71 for the year.  Only another $1,895.29 to go, and I’ll reach my goal of $2020.  [Read more…]

Week three of Motivational Monday is here!  The past week was a bit off for me.  Aside from working extra hours, I had several other things going on.  Nothing serious, just life!  Anyhow, I do want to stay on track with reporting my earnings.   I also check in with any of you who are tracking various goals.

Week number two of Motivational Monday!  I’m pleased to say that my MTurk earnings were far better than last week.  Today I moved $57.58 from our checking to our remodel fund, bringing our new total to a nice even $60.00.  With a goal of $2020, I *cough* only have $1960 more to go!  

Although I’m only at $60, I like having this separate savings account.  Seeing even this small amount saved towards our goal is encouraging.  Sure, mathematically speaking, this money would be better off applied to our mortgage.  But, by allowing myself to put MTurk earnings into this separate account, I also feel it motivates me to earn even more.

How are you doing with your extra earning goals for the year?  Maybe a bit nosy, but who isn’t curious how much others are earning…and how they are going about it!

It’s finally here, my first Motivational Monday! I decided to start doing this as a way to encourage myself (and hopefully some of you as well) to earn and save more money.  My goal is to make and save at least an extra $2,020 in 2020. This amount is in addition to our other goal of saving $12,000 for our fully-funded emergency fund. [Read more…]

Taking Care Of The Four Walls

Food, Shelter, clothing, and transportation. Taking care of our four walls is something I needed to remind myself of today.  Financially, July has been a tight month for us.  Admittedly, some of this was our own doing as we pushed June’s debt snowball to the limit.  Finding a healthy balance has never been a strong […]
