Yesterday, I wrote about my love of the diva suit, rewards and getting a reward of a diva suit in three small ounces. And today, I’m quite thrilled to report that this morning, Lucy told me to go and get that diva suit! WOO-HOO!!! I was in a plateau since April (that’s FIVE months sister!) and this week I’ve finally busted through!
Keeping with the former “Finance Friday” tradition at the Encouraged in Heart blog, I’m also very excited to report about another reward that’s coming our way today. Two rewards in one day…pinch me, would ya?!?
Dave and I have hit three large financial goals. As we perused our financial road map, the Finkster omitted one small detail in our budgeting …rewards. And I do love me some rewards! It actually stated, on the financial road map that we follow (Crown Financial), to make sure we reward ourselves after hitting each goal milestone. Since we’ve never rewarded ourselves before and our next goal is to have our home mortgage paid (so it’ll be a L-O-N-G while…), we thought long and hard…
Cricket, cricket…
And finally came up with our idea! Our old kitchen table was 15 years old and the chairs had been reupholstered three times by my powerful staple gun (can I get a grunt sisters?!). Here’s our reward to be delivered later today:
(No this is not our actual kitchen. Carpet under any table that the Fink fam eats at is just a bad idea. And, I’m not just talking about the kids here!)
Dave’s done such an amazing job getting our family finances lined up to God’s plan and he’s shared so much of that with you – I wanted to remind you, to plan to reward yourself after achieving each milestone!
I pray you don’t think I’m bragging about “us” with getting a rewards but I do pray you see what I’m really doing…bragging about our REALLY big God that took us, turned us around and put us in fiscal health and after seven years, we’ve able to celebrate with a beautiful reward that our family and friends will all enjoy (the kitchen is always the hangout place!).
Do you have finance rewards in place and if so what are they? As you know, we’re sort of new to this and would love to read your ideas!
