Honeymoon Savings Goal Update: February

Posted on | March 2, 2010 | 1 Comment

Our honeymoon is getting awfully close. I set a goal starting last September to raise $2500 for our honeymoon with taking as little money as possible out of paychecks to do so (instead using bank offers, rebates, side income, etc.)…and as of last month we were at $1670. In other words…another $830 still to save! Yikes!

                How did we do in February? The following is what we added to the pot:

  • $40 from Carpooling
  • $5 from SC Johnson rebate (I paired this rebate with a sale and stocked us up on cleaning supplies!)
  • $29 eHow earnings
  • $140 freelance income
  • $75 from 1 hour Research Study

This brings the total to $1959.78, with $540.22 still needed and only 1.5 months to do this in. With the help of one of my loyal readers, Crystal S. and her husband (she has a new blog called Budgeting in the Fun Stuff), I may be able to make up a portion of this, and will hopefully be giving you the happy news in the next Honeymoon Savings Goal update.
