I have a few frugal goals that some other folks have mentioned. I am working to better organize our home and business bills to make sure things get paid more timely. I am siiiick of paying late charges- even 5.00 a month adds up when it gets applied to several bills. I have also been paying more attention to what I buy at the grocery store and how often. So far, I have for sure spent less money, and we're starting to eat better. I'm reminding myself that with a little effort, it's not much more difficult or time-consuming to cook things from scratch, and it's better for you.

I do have another goal in sight- I want to take our savings and set it aside for a down payment for a car next year. Our two trucks are not quite on their last legs yet, but they will be soon, and if we need to buy a new car soon I want to be better prepared for it.
