Now that it’s June, I realize I’m mid-way through the year and need to reevaluate my goals. Initially, my Boost My Savings goal was to save $4,500 by the end of this month. Frankly, I don’t think I’m going to make that goal. However, instead of throwing in the towel, I’m going to set a minimum goal to save at least $3,600 by the end of this month. I’m almost there, just a few hundred short.
I still look forward to summer as a time of play, yet I’ve learned to work through that feeling and still manage to take some time off to enjoy the warmer weather (like camping in the Sequoia’s this August – whoo, hoo!).
Now for some Saturday reads, enjoy:

Thanks for including the Build Your Blog Month! I hope that it will be positive for all of our blogs, and am looking forward to seeing yours get past that plateau. 🙂
Thanks for the link!
Good job not throwing in the towel on your savings goal. Keep pushing forward. Nice collection of posts. Thanks!
@Buck Inspire – I’ll keep forging ahead. Actually, things are looking more promising in the fall so I might actually be able to meet my goal after all! Time will tell.
