My Monetary Goal...$1,200

Okay so May 1st began my journey into 'saving a paycheck'. I know the deals I got on Monday are minor compared to expert coupon shoppers, but hey, we all have to start somewhere, right?

So what is my monetary goal? Hubby would kill me if I revealed the actual paycheck amount he brings on home every month, and I realize too that would be faux pas. So, I chose a random amt of $1,200 for my goal. How did I come up with this? That is the approximate amt that I would bring home (net) in an entry-level job after tax, healthcare, and daycare. I think that is a reasonable goal, and I hope to exceed that!!!

So May 2010-May 2011 I hope to save 1,200+
