Financial Planning: My Goals Before I Move

   I just did a bit of color-coded financial planning and I thought I'd share! My move is coming up (beginning of August to Boston, MA) and I also have my weight-loss rewards to plan for! Unless money falls out of the sky, or I get more work than I planned- I probably won't be able to afford some of the rewards I planned for but I can afford more than I thought!
