Goals for January
1. My son's kiddie account.
Needed: At least P2,000.
I want to prepare for our son's educational fund, and for emergency use too. He is still four years old so he is not allowed to have a medical insurance yet. In our country, a child has to be at least seven years old to have a medical insurance.
2. Joint savings account.
Needed: At least P5,000
We dreamed of visiting Warwick, New York this year, if Jehovah God's will. And we needed to prepare a hefty sum for our fare and pocket money. Our board and lodging will be taken care of of our dear friends who will be hosting us.
3. Medical insurance.
Needed: P12,000
It is a must for us to have a medical insurance since we never know what tomorrow brings. We may be well today but be extremely sick tomorrow, and the worse is that we do not have some money to pay for hospital bills. It's our third year to pay for our medical insurance, so there's two years more.
4. Motorbike
Needed: P6,000.
We need to earn an additional P6,000 in order for us to purchase an additional unit of motorbike to rent out.
5. Grow at least 100 SP.
Needed: 767 SP
I currently have 667 SP, and this month I want to attain a 100SP growth.
6. Lose weight.
Needed: 50kg
I weigh 52kg now. Since postpartum, I have grown heavier and heavier. I always assumed that it is because of childbirth. But I have also friends who gave birth but didn't gain weight, so I realized that it is all because of self-discipline that I can go back to my pre-partum weight.
My plan.

1. Kiddie account.
I need to ensure that this is one of the first priority where my money will go into.
2. Savings account.
We need to cut back on some non-essentials, like eating out or shopping, so that we can save for our wishful vacation. We can only rely to the Most High, Jehovah God, for His blessings to our plans.
3. Medical insurance.
I need to properly take aside some money for our medical insurance. Even though this is paid semi-annually, but setting aside P12,000 per month is a security that we can pay the needed amount, and it will not be a burden for us by then.
4. Motorbike.
We are renting out two motorbikes now as part of our small business. So hopefully, we can save some from this so that we can buy a third unit this year.
5. Post everyday.
I sometimes forget to post something on Steemit. So I need to make sure that I post everyday so that it can help me to make my SP grow. I also need to post quality contents so that it can be noticed by others.

6. Lose weight.
I cut back on eating white rice now for more than a week, and I lost more or less 2kg. I plan to continue with this diet, replacing white rice with oats and root crops like sweet potato and cassava, and boiled banana instead. I also would like to exercise some more to burn those fats, and eventually attain my goal of 50kg this month.
I am hopeful to attain these goals this month, hopefully, hopefully.
Once again, thank you for initiating this contest
