    I total my sinking funds/bills for the year and save for that the year before as one line item on my goal chart. It makes it seem, at least, more manageable. You introduced me to sinking funds, and I appreciate it! Once we buy a house, we'll be able to have a slowed down year like you and I cannot wait. One day!

    I’m going to be doing a no-buy year. My goal is to pay off credit card debt. I also have an HSA for 2024 so I want that fully funded. Once I can see how much I’m able to save each month I’ll be able to see if I can also set up a backdoor Roth.
    I also want to fence in my back yard

    Question: how do you cope & handle with financial pressure? Other than the general answers of going on getaways/vacations, gym. More of the mental aspect of handling with pressure.
    I ask, because I'm going through pressure and not sure how to handle it with my mental health.
    I follow you because your real and I can relate to with similar experiences.

    • @AjaDang
      @AjaDang  Před 4 měsíci +10

      well I burnt out after 5 years so clearly I don't cope very well lol but in general, I find it exciting to accomplish my financial goals . I think what I'm learning though is to not put too much pressure on yourself to accomplish things quickly - that's where my stress comes from.

  • @indieconquers
    @indieconquers Před 4 měsíci

    Whew. I have some things on my mind for mine but need to get them written down. The biggest is that I'm changing jobs after almost a decade. I'm moving to a job that pays less but is in an industry I'm excited about/less stressful. So with that, I have a goal to manage my commute and lifestyle spending more (I'd reached an income where "treat yourself" was far too often -- lol!)
    Outside of that, my new job requires me to be in office a few days a week, so I'm looking into dog daycare. I'm sure that will be the biggest expense bc my dog is a ball of anxiety and needs a facility with lots of experience.

    The dog wash subscription sounds great! You might want to look at it being mobile rather than brick and mortar, and you might be able to get it started sooner. I started budgeting with cash envelopes last week, and while it is tedious, I am more disciplined when the cash is not in my immediate checking account. Best of luck!!

I also want a fireplace and a small stream running through and on top all the plants that I love and that can’t handle the Swedish winters! My dream project of all! 🥰

    Dog wash subscription is amazing but idk how feasible/sustainable it is because you can only service a number of dogs per day and hiring more people will just cost more. I've been dreaming of setting up a grooming shop as well because my dog always look weird af after grooming and I'm like "fck it I'll do it myself" hahaha
    I still haven't done my yearly financial setup but it was great in 2023, my real estate tax, medical insurance, car emergency fund, and pet emergency fund are fully funded for next year! Bad news (well not yreally) is I maxed out my travel fund last year because I revenge traveled.

    Hi Aja! If you have a vet you can trust you can see if they can work with you on pricing so that you don’t need pet insurance to keep screwing you over. My dental insurance is terrible so I just talked to the dental office and I get 15% off everything
