The husband and I had a financial meeting on Sunday. We reviewed our expenses, and we strategized on how to increase our savings, ASAP. We need an extra $100K to pay for surrogacy, and I turn 30 next month and we'd like to have children before we turn 50!Our new plan for saving is that we won't spend more than $25 each weekday. It seems like a lot of money for expenses, right? I thought this was going to be easy. We'd have $100K by next Thursday.
On Monday, I spent $50 on gas for my 4Runner, $35 at Williams-Sonoma for a cake pan, and $12 at lunch. FAIL.
On Tuesday I spent $20 at the dry cleaners, $8 on lunch, and $70 at eBay. FAIL.
Today, I spent $8 at lunch. SUCCESS!
Takeaway: Saving for our extra $100K is going to be tough, and in the future I'm going to ask my husband to pick up the dry cleaning.
Um ... you didn't tell me you got a cake pan from William-Sonoma.
