April Challenge

 

I'm joining in the April Savings challenge with Carla at My Half Dozen Daily.

My Two Goals:

1. Add $150 to emergency fund - I know I'll have $40 in April to put in the emergency fund so I want to find ways to save an extra $110.
2. Save an extra $150 to put toward my student loan payment.

So I need to find ways to save up an additional $260 dollars in April to meet my goals. I'm not sure if this is too easy of a goal or if it will be hard as this is my first time really challenging myself.  I don't want to take away from any of my normal savings so I'll have to be creative with ways to trim the budget. If my husband gets some overtime, it will be easy. But if he doesn't, I'll have to find ways to save on regular budgeted items to come up with the $260.
