But, I'll put those all aside... below are the goals I have for July - somewhat similar to June since I am still trying to change my habits. I am limiting myself to CASH!!! We paid 50% of the resort in cash and will be paying the rest when we get there
- I am scared that it will throw off my momentum on this debt repayment
- The wedding was just completely unorganized for the guests
- We did not book anything until last week - and I am sure there are still a couple more things we need to spend on
- They STILL hasn't given me any itinerary on whats going on the wedding - I am a bridesmaid
- Keep a weekly spending budget of $150 while in the states and $200 on vacation
- Track my daily spending - I am still free to use my debit card or cash
- Do not use credit cards - I will be bringing them "just in case"
- Target debt payment amount this month will be $500
- Have at least ONE day of no spending per week - even while on vacation
How do you prep for a big vacation while paying off debt?
Eughhhh, that wedding sounds like a nightmare. I know how you feel and I would feel the same way, disorganization turns me off, especially when I'm expected to participate in something like being a bridesmaid.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the destination wedding?
Yeah I know! And it makes it harder to budget when I dont even know what to expect =/ The wedding is going to be in the Philippines.

I've been to a destination wedding where everything was unorganized and it still turned out to be fun. Just go with whatever. Have a good time :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, thats so true! It usually ends up like that... I think I am just getting stressed out because I am trying to budget, but ending up spending a lot more. But yes - i am hoping it turns out great. I'll totally make the most out of it.
