Money and Finance
I made a whole lot of progress in 2012 and now I have a better idea of what I can expect from 2013. I'm setting some pretty aggressive goals and it'll be tough to hit some of them but setting the bar too low doesn't make it a challenge.
Budgeting goals for 2013:
Average 80% after-tax savings rate
Average less than $1,400 per month in required expenses
Reduce miscellaneous spending by 15% ($96.51)
Reduce restaurant spending by 10% ($128.31)
Reduce grocery spending by 5% ($205.64)
