Y’all, in exactly two weeks we start a brand new year. Can you believe it? This year has flown. I always get excited about the new year. New goals, new dreams, new plans! As I was going through our finances to help create goals for the new year, I decided it would be fun to peak back at this past year and see how we fared.
In 2012:
+ We paid off J’s student loan
+ Our tax refund helped boost our savings (and allowed us to buy an iPad)
+ We started a travel fund from my grandmother
+ We finally fully funded our emergency fund!
+ I got a new job
– We fixed lots of car repairs
+ We moved (and should save over $500/year)
– Our savings took a hit when we adopted our new puppy
+ And so far we have doubled our net worth since January*
Wow! It’s really amazing to see how time and effort go a long way. Slow and steady, my friends. Slow and steady.
How did your finances do this year?
Did your net worth increase or decrease in a year?
What big financial milestones did you hit this year?
Love these updates- we paid off all of our debt and have 1/4 of what we need saved to build my husband an incredible shop. 2012 was amazing!
Awesome Ginna, that is really cool. I hope you know how proud we are of you!
Go, Gin, Go!!! Awesome!
That is awesome! Congrats on the milestones!
Great post, Ginna! Sounds like you two had a wonderful year. Onto 2013!
