Wealthier

If you remember back just a few posts you will know that I have a new year's resolution.  And I need to figure out how I am going to measure those 4 categories.  I have figured out the "wealthier" category already. 

Someone posted this on their facebook page and I immediately thought it would be interesting to try this.



It looks simple enough.  Well, the weeks later in the year will be difficult but it is worth a try.  And I might actually try to put in more at the beginning of the year so that later in the year will be easier.  Wouldn't it be great to have that in a savings account at the end of the year??

I have also decided to do this for Ladybug -- in a modified version.  Instead of starting at $1, I am starting with $.10 for her.  So at the end of the year I should have $137.80 saved up for her.  But on top of that I am going to attempt to pay back all the money I took from her savings account when we moved last year.  She had just over $500 in her account at that time.  Plus she will have $100 from my grandfather for her birthday last year and by the end of the year another $100 from him (if he is still alive by the end of the year).  So with any luck she should have about $850 in her savings account by the end of the year.

If I can lower my debt or at least not add to it and save all of that then by the end of the year I will definitely be wealthier in a measurable way.
