Financial Goals for May and an Update on our April Goals



Our April Goals:
  1. Pay all of our April bills 
  2. Pay our last 500 dollar payment to Ryan Homes! (that will be all of our Good Faith Money paid in full a month early!) 
  3. Save another 500 dollars toward our closing costs (which we estimate to be around 1800 dollars)
How we did on our April Goals:

  1. We paid all of our April bills 
  2. We paid our last 500 dollar payment to Ryan Homes on April 10! More than a month before our scheduled payment date! We are so thankful that God has blessed Micah with a second job so that we can meet these goals and not just meet them but exceed them! #BlessedBeyondTheTelling
  3. We saved 1,423 dollars toward our estimated closing costs! Almost triple what we were hoping to save! 
 Our Goals for May:

  1. Pay all of our May bills
  2. Finish funding our closing cost account (we only need 377 dollars)!
  3. Start saving money for all the "EXTRA" things we are going to need when we move into the house (movers, truck, refrigerator, mini-blinds, ceiling fans, and Tyler new bedroom furniture, at the very least a new bed for him). We would like to have saved 1,000 dollar by the end of the month. I know this is a HUGE goal but I believe that we can do it!

Financial Goals for April and an Update on Our Financial Goals for March






We had some pretty BIG financial goals for March


  1. Pay all of our monthly bills 
  2. Pay our 500 dollar March payment to Ryan Homes 
  3. Save an additional 300 dollars toward our April payment to Ryan Homes 
Here is how we did

  1. Paid all of our March bills! 
  2. Paid 1000 dollars to Ryan Homes (that was our 500 dollar March payment and our 500 dollar April payment)! That brings out total money paid to 2000 dollars! Just 500 dollars more to go!
  3. Saved 341 dollars toward our 500 dollar May payment! 
 To say we are thrilled with our progress is an understatement! It has not been easy but we have managed fairly well. And the success has kept us motivated!

Our April Financial Goals

  1. Pay all of our April bills 
  2. Pay our last 500 dollar payment to Ryan Homes! (that will be all of our Good Faith Money paid in full a month early!) 
  3. Save another 500 dollars toward our closing costs (which we estimate to be around 1800 dollars)
This month will be a little bit harder due to Easter but we are committed to reaching our goals and hopefully going a little bit beyond!
