BHAG Update - 2 Months To Go

Can you believe that our planned departure date for the big trip is only 2 months away today????

I’m not sure whether to be excited or a little freaked out by that. :)  I think I’m a bit of both.

Anyway, I thought it was time for an update on how I’m going with my BHAG (which is to save $5000 by the time we leave).

Total as of 31st March 2009: $3294.47

To be added:

March Interest $64.19

Advertising Payment (3 Kids And A Caravan)  $100

Money Owed from Friend (was paid out of last years budget so I’m going to add it to my total)  $110.00

Neways Cheque $6.67

Flybuys Rewards Card $100

Competition Winnings $300

Grocery Surplus for April $84.75

Interest (April)  $66.84

Total to be Added $832.45

Bringing my current BHAG total to:


Can you believe that???

$4,126.92

I am over the moon with that figure!!!!  I’ve already surpassed my wildest expectations.  And with 2 months left to go, I might even actually reach this goal.

$873.08 over the next 8 weeks.  About $110 a week.  Hmmm….
