December Savings Goal - Update

Here is an update on how we did with our December goals!

• $350 for gas for both vehicles: We spend $385.50 on gas this month. So we went over a bit.
• $300 for groceries and eating out: We spent $465 on groceries and eating out.  Going to have to really watch this one!
• Renew animal licenses - $80.  Turns out I only had to renew one license and it cost $46.
• $200 Christmas gift budget: We decided to do a lot of baking this year as gifts and only spent about $50.
• Buy winter tires:  Winter tires were bought for just under $800 and added on to the credit card balance.  We are thankful we bought them, they have made a world of difference!
• Pay off the last credit card:  After having added the extra $800 for winter tires and more for oil change and changing the tires on the other vechile, we have $450 left to pay, which should be paid in the next two weeks!
• Set up automatic savings: Set up and started!

There are a few goals we could have done better on. Particularly not eating out as much.  That is always my downfall!
