Reading Dave Ramsey's tips for setting goals for 2021 and signing up for the Ramsey Reset, a livestream taking place on January 12th. While I don't typically partake in resolutions, I did commit to my first 101 in 1001 list back in August. There are a bunch of measurable goals on the list and I absolutely intend to check most of them off and I know Dave Ramsey and his team will have inspiration galore.

Wishing I had the immediate funds to buy the Molly Moorkamp dress I've been dying for the past few seasons. It went on sale last week for 40% off, but even with that kind of a discount I couldn't afford it. The current focus of my financial journey is building a 6 month emergency fund, so until that is done I don't really have room in the budget to make major splurge purchases. I'm proud of myself for saying no, but also a bit sad because it's something I've wanted to buy for SO long. Progress! 

Subscribing to a few different magazines I regularly buy! This actually made my 101 in 1001 list for a few reasons, but the two biggest motivators were that subscriptions are more budget friendly and if there is another lockdown, I'll still be able to have easy access to my favorite magazines.

Looking for possible side hustles that are realistic for my schedule. I don't have much of a social life these days and I think having a side hustle with some income would be a great way to spend my time right now, as I'm definitely feeling the budget crunch now more than ever. This article has some great ideas and inspiration for all of us to think about! 

Dreaming about Palm Beach. I really missed my annual New Year trip this time around and am hoping to get back down this year for a bit more of an extended stay so I can catch up with friends, explore the new places on my list and relax in the sun. Hopefully I can make this happen sooner rather than later. 

Week one is done!
