Goals at a Glance + At hand

I can't remember who, but someone made a board like this for their goals during 2012 (I think Serendipity?). I decided to make one for myself! On Tuesday, I spent a lot of time sorting out my budget and making sure everything matched on the spreadsheets vs what's on my book. Not surprisingly, the spreadsheet was off. Then I added a "small change" that completely threw both the book and the spreadsheets out the window, and spent too much time fixing it up.

I kept referring back to my goals and what exactly they were, so I decided to print it out pocket size to put in my book. I wish I could laminate it, but I'm perfectly happy with the pretty print! How's that for a visual?

As for the "small change"... I'm taking $50 from my debt payments per month to use as extra/personal. Since every extra bit of money will be destined somewhere, this wiggle room will help me hopefully meet with my last 4 goals: buy books to read if the library doesn't quite have what I'm looking for; cook more, which may mean ingredients not in stock; dine out; give to charity. I know it's a small amount (perhaps too small to make much of a difference), but I think it's a good start.
