New Challenges And New Schedules!

August 3, 2022 This week we are in for one of our most hectic weeks since the start of Project Money! During the school year our lives are often fast paced due to Dom’s job and James’s school and extracurricular activities. With August upon us, not only is Dom gearing up for his students’ return to school, but Megan is also starting a new job! With all the excitement of the fun, new challenges, and relationships, there is also sure to be the challenge of time management!We are proud of how well we have planned and cut out many unnecessary purchases by communicating and prepping. This week we get to give our new routine more of a challenge than it has gotten to this point! We don’t rattle easily and are excited to keep moving and grooving in the right direction. Looking ahead, a challenge we are accepting this month is to minimize how much of our personal allowances we spend in anticipation of back-to-school shopping! We have so much fun looking for bargains for supplies, themes, and sending our little guy to school feeling good about his first day back. We know we can do the same thing this year; think more critically about what we get and from where and still achieve the same result!First day of school here we come!
