Spending in 2006 and house stuff

January 3rd, 2007 at 01:07 am

I have compared my spending in 2006 to the previous year, and found I spent less! (Not much) But the trend has always been a little MORE every year. When I went over the categories, the only category in which I spent significantly less was medical. Hmmm. I don't have much control over that, except for trying to develop healthy habits.

Like everyone else in the world, developing healthy habits is on my list of New Year's resolutions. To be more explicit, I'm going to exercise 30 minutes a day and eat at least 3 servings of fruit/vegetables. I hope it results in lower health costs, but you never know. My higher health costs in previous years were due to surgeries -- a hysterectomy that was unavoidable, and lasik eye surgery that was a gift to myself.

My new flooring has been laid in the entryway and bathroom. It's so beautiful! It really looks like wood, but it's vinyl tile. Tomorrow they will lay it in the kitchen and laundry room. So far I haven't gone into debt to pay for it, but I've only paid half. I have paid in full for the new kitchen appliances, however. It's almost sad that the house will be so pretty -- for someone else.

Any way you look at it, I'll be spending more as I get my house ready to sell. But as soon as I do that I will retire -- 2007 will be a year of big changes!
