August Goals

It’s August, the most special time of the year! When I was younger, I was always Jonesing to go back to school shopping and to celebrate my birthday. My mom made a really big deal out of both since I was an only child so August was usually full of magic. Now that I’m older, I have friends who partake in birthday month shenanigans with me and this is the first year in awhile I don’t have to buy school supplies. Huzzah!

Along with H coming out for a visit, I have tons of birthday month plans. A girls night, Suicide Squad viewing with friends and a Guns & Roses concert, my birthday month is gonna be off the hook! I still have goals though gotta stay motivated and take care of business during the work week. 😉

• Lay out a business plan for Money Smart Latina for the rest of the year. After finishing my bachelors degree, getting a promotion at work and taking some time off, I’ve decided it’s time to focus on Money Smart Latina. I have tons of great ideas that I would like to see come into fruition and I am the only one holding myself back. My goal is to really get a handle on everything by the time I attend FinCon. Anyone else attending?
• Take care of myself. I really under estimate how much rest I need and crash out on the weekends. Along with chronic asthma and BPD which is quite exhausting, I also suffer from a chronic pain condition in my back. Along with getting rest, I need to see my primary doctor to get refills, eat plenty of fresh veggies and fruits, take my supplements and take time to actually decompress.
• Finish funding my emergency fund. I’m half way to my emergency fund getting topped off before I work on some other financial goals and I really hope I can do it this month. I was a little spendy this past weekend but I need to reign it in.

That’s it. I’m being super social this month so I don’t want to put too much on my plate. Bonus goal would be to declutter half my apartment since I feel like I have too much stuff again. I haven’t done a deep cleaning since last summer so that would be nice but I will be spending a lot of time with one of my clients so we will see what I have time for.

What do you have planner for this month?
