Exciting Update! (Goal Change)
Hello, friends of the finance world!
I have some very exciting news that I have known about for a few weeks now, but I’ve been holding off on making an announcement until everything was set in stone. There’s going to be a change in my financial goals for this year, namely that my savings goal is being decreased a few thousand, because...
I am going to London (and Scotland) in the fall!
My city airport partnered with a new airline and were offering flights from my hometown to London at around $250 per person each way. So round trip, it was under $500. A friend of mine asked if I wanted to go, we discussed some pricing, scheduling, and we set it up! The flight is booked, we paid for a flat for the week, all that’s really left is booking our sleeper train to Scotland!
I’ve never traveled abroad before and I am very excited!!!
Now, this trip is a SCREAMING deal. I’m paying was less overall than I will to go to Hawaii with my mama next year, but... it will still set my savings goal back a tad. I’m estimating around $2k. I’m also still trying to find a new laptop, as well as some other expenses that are currently occurring. So I’m going to shoot for $10k in savings this year, and anything above that is a plus.
How’s everyone else doing?
