2 thoughts on “Debt Payoff Plan, Take #2”
Last year flying home for Christmas put a bit of a dent in my savings, so this year I had planned to be more diligent about saving up throughout the year, specifically for that. Then things happened, as they do, and I sort of stopped, and now it’s halfway through the year. Guess it’s time to pick it up again…
I have an annual car maintenance envelope that I had filled and not used for a couple years, and so during the time that it’s full I’ve been reallocating money that I would have put into my car maintenance envelope into my savings envelope. I just found out yesterday that my car needs maintenance and that I’ll have to empty my car maintenance envelope, which means I’ll have to gradually fill it back up again for the next time my car needs maintenance. This is all still part of the long-term plan I have for my budget, but I’m sad that it means that I have to put my short-term savings plan on hold until I fill the car maintenance envelope again.
