Happy new year everyone! Hope everyone has their resolutions ready to accomplish. 2015 was actually a very good year for me which should make 2016 more interesting. In terms of saving money there are a ton of Christmas stuff on sale still if you are looking to stock up on things like decorations and candy. Virtually every store had like Christmas clearance section of some sort.
It was funny too as there were signs instructing people that certain chocolate items weren’t on sale. I am guessing too many people were just grabbing any chocolate and wanting like a 50% discount on it.
I am still waiting for all those boxing day shipments to arrive which should be next week too. A funny thing happened yesterday too which entrepreneurs may be able to relate to. I was actually telling a family member about something I planned to do this year and surprisingly this person was blunt in saying “no way” that I can do it in a rather negative tone. I usually expect to hear this from friends and peers, but not family members. I must hear this too much as it kind of gave me extra motivation. Will be interesting as I’ll tell you all at the end of the year which goal it was if you were interested. 😀
But if your new year’s resolutions is to like start say some kind of business then this is just an example on how you often have to simply move forward and surround yourself with people who believe in you. When you are successful it’s a completely different story where people will often say they supported you from day one. This can even be true for other things like fitness goals.
I did mention I would tell you all about a specific new years project and I indeed have begun it. With everyone saying here that the Canadian dollar is junk where you can’t buy anything with it I thought wouldn’t it be fun to see how many things I can find that are like one dollar? I know from experience there are usually a ton of good stuff such as grocery items as an example for less than a dollar. So if you are interested you can see me post one deal a day that I have found in 2016 that is tagged as one dollar at http://www.onedollarbudget.com
I am literally going to try and find things 365 days a year and will be posting all the fun finds there. Everyone always does this type of challenge for other things and I thought it would be a fun financial challenge as dollar stores here don’t even sell things at a dollar anymore mostly. Will it be useful stuff that people actually use or just junk? I did run into a hurdle as my ISP is taking forever to update its DNS. That means I had to use my phone connection to do all the site setup where I just have the bare minimum up at the moment.
Let the new year begin!
