Financial Goal for April

One way to try to keep focused financially is to set a financial goal for the month. My goal for this month is to boycott buying my daily coffee at Tim Hortons. I don't always buy a daily coffee, but I almost do. It's pretty sad to think of the money that I was spending almost every day on a coffee. A medium costs $1.28. Add that up over one month's time and that's $38.40 (based on thirty days). I could definately be using that money somewhere else in my budget. A box of diapers, money towards my daughter's RESP or even putting that towards debt. I'm beginning to realize that every dollar and every cent counts when your on a maternity leave budget.
