Hello October! I love this time of year 🙂 I like the darker nights and the cooler temperatures. I am looking forward to the holidays! it seems a bit strange to be thinking ahead but I feel like even more so this year, I need to get more organised. So October is going to be the month of planning ahead. I definitely don’t want to leave it until last minute. I have also decided that I am going to shop small this Christmas. It will be more important that ever to support your local business and your favourite independent shops.
October tends to be a quiet month here. Which is not a bad thing! I just hope we manage to stay out of local lockdown. Cases are increasing near us already so I think it might only be a question of time but I hope not 🙁
Finally, before I get to my aims for the month ahead, I am still loving my YouTube channel. It is growing slowly and my message is getting out there. I just want to help people grow their confidence when it comes to their finances. And October is Investment Month over there – so everything to do with investing. From how to start, to what the stock market is, to where to invest and which strategy might be best for you. Make sure you go over there and subscribe so you don’t miss them! I’m excited for this one 🙂
My Financial aims for October are:
– Have 20 No Spend Days (NSDs)
– Overpay the mortgage by £185
– Put £700 into savings
Same as always; these should be easy to meet providing I don’t spend too much going out. In some ways, being back at work might make this easier as well. We shall see! I mentioned briefly in a video last week about how I need to up our emergency fund. Any spare cash I have at the moment, aside from money for our long term goals, shall be put into our emergency fund. Slow and steady wins the race.
My Personal Aims for October are:
– continue with my nighttime routine
– get started with Christmas shopping!
I have made a concerted effort to get to bed earlier and to have a proper nighttime routine where I wind down and rest. It has been working well so I am going to continue this! And yes, I am going to start Christmas shopping 🙂 I love it.
Here’s to October being great! What are your aims for the month? I’d love to hear them!
