Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot financial goal for January 2022?

They say financial planning is important. I hear it on the radio all the time. I decided to start my MyLot financial planning a bit early this month. I have already made a whopping $00XY.0000 in January, and see $00XZ.0000 as a perfectly realistic goal. However, with a bit of extra effort, I could make it to $00XQ.0000. Why not set my sights high! That said, I have to work at Guitar Center today and tomorrow, and so will have to be out in the "real world"each day. Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for this month? How is your week shaping up?

T&A! (That’s “totally and arbitrarily,” not what “T&A” meant regarding TV shows in the 70s. ) I’m having about $11,000 worth of repair/maintenance/preventative measures done to the house, so I’ll need a whole lot more than that myLot money next month. But that’s okay. I gave the myLot savings I had in PayPal to a local no-kill animal shelter for Betty White’s birthday, so thanks to all my loyal reader (singular intentional)!!!!!

Heh. That's actually a most excellent way to spend MyLot riches. I'm proud to have been the reason. I woke up thinking of t and a this morning, so I decided I'd better write this post before I started thinking about other things. Oops. Trying to do two things at once.

@FourWalls $11k is a big expense! Not as much, but even I had some more expenses in January.

@thehorse It’s such a slap in the teeth listening to financial experts telling people how to be prudent with money they don’t have. My girlfriend always thought when I said I had no money I meant that I had no loose change because my wealth was all tied up in investments. Then she married me. And she’s still with me after 37 years of impecunious marriage.

I'm glad you were able to trick her. My Hot Russian and Asian Brides always leave me once they realize my true impecunious nature.

$00XQ.0000 would be awesome but I'm never going to hit it. My totally arbitrary and realistic MyLot goal for this month is 36,427,923.29. Only slightly more than $1 million a day which a lot of people think is a joke but for someone my age (I'm going to be 28 in less than 2 weeks now) who is also saddled with a Vow Of Poverty and a horrible work addiction, it's very reasonable. I'm still 73 cents short so I probably won't hit it since there's only 5 or 6 days left...How many days does January have?...but, as the Cubs fans say, there's always next month.

@TheHorse It's probably just as well. If we were on two writing sites, we'd have twice as many groupies and that would be exhausting.

Since I started participating in January 9 which is the second week of January, I haven't really set a goal. But now that is just 6 days to February, I've put a little effort to reach a certain target before January ends and I'm glad I'll be able to do it by Saturday if I continue like this. But I've never set goals /targets because I often go MIA

@TheHorse My best month in 2021 was November, while in 2020 was February, I was very close to $ 50, should February had 30 days I would have made more than 50.

I think this will be my "biggest" month in a few. Maybe its because I worked only a few days at my friend's preschool this month. I also got some decent work done on my book. My Guitar Center schedule is pretty consistent.

I always set my myLot goal at a totally realistic $1 million but am falling a tiny bit short this month, I think... Somebody, didn't post as many discussions as normal, so I didn't manage to get quite as much interaction as I'm accustomed to here.
