Getting a bit of a raise. I always just put the extra in Savings. I am going to re-jig the budget since I need to increase the amount for Hydro and Gas (heat). I put too much aside for car ins. and property taxes so I may just take from there and let the extra from raise go to savings. Will figure it out when I get the final numbers.
Will be doing my taxes soon and will have to figure out how to save/spend refund. Most will go into savings for retirement.

I bought my boys chocolate bunnies a few weeks ago. Think my youngest is done hunting for eggs. Will casually ask him this weekend. I already bought both new summer clothing needed (swimshorts etc) Thinking I will just tape a $20 each to their bunny and call it a day

Just like Christmas (for those that celebrate) Tired of reading posts about how it snuck up on them etc. It comes every year. Need to plan! I put $100 away in a Christmas account each month. It has been building since I don't spend it all (and sometimes just pay for gifts with my other money lol.

Bah, groceries in March were a huge fail. We were closer to $750 for the the month. Glad for a clean slate this week for April groceries.
Tax return came in, so we've allocated that towards our goals
Our Great Dane ended up at the vets office, and it wasn't great news. Looks like we may have an expensive CT Scan to check for Wobblers Syndrome in our near future. Followed by either a surgery or medication-for-life type of thing. It seems like it came out of no where this past week, but as we were talking with the vet some of the symptoms may have been there over the last few years. She's always been on the clumsy side. When we got her, we didn't buy pet insurance. Instead we decided that those $$ would just go towards the emergency fund. So I guess we will see if it would have been worth it to get the insurance. Although with two dogs, it could have very easily been the other one that got sick instead so maybe the emergency fund is the best place to put those $$ after all. Does anyone have an experience with pet insurance? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
April is going to be a fun month. We had a concert last night, surprise party for a friend in two weeks and a comedy show at the end of the month. It has been months since we have actually 'gone out' to do anything, usually we just get together with friends at our place or theirs for supper & board games. Which I love, because its super budget friendly but sometimes its nice to get out of the house

Personally I think pet insurance is a big waste of money. I put money aside each month as well. If needed it's there. If not it is my money. Pet insurance is fantastic when they are collecting the monthly/yearly premium. But trying to use it can be an issue. Some people I heard were told stuff they needed it for wasn`t covered etc.

I had a co worker who looked into pet insurance she said what was covered was so hit and miss that she felt if anything did ever happen they would be paying out of pocket for it anyways as more than likely it would not be covered. She kept the list and sure enough almost everything that has happened with her dog would not have been covered.
2022 is going to be my year, the year I find organization in my life and the year I focus on myself,
follow along as tackle day to day life and whatever else 2021 throws at me:
