Gathering Goals

Tomorrow is the last day of the month. Since January 1st, I've kept track of my points daily, and cashed out for the largest amount possible on the last day of the month. In both January & February, that was for $100. Actually, in January, I didn't have enough, so I waited 3 or 4 days into February. In February, I earned about $110, but due to the late January cash out, I didn't have much left point wise, come March 1st.

This month, I'm doing pretty well, despite a bad week last week. The past few days, however, have been nice. If I can do that again tomorrow, then I'll end the month with about $115 worth of points. It's not enough for an extra Paypal cash out of $25, but it gives me a big start for April.

My hopes in April are to get $110 worth, so that I can cash out for $125 at the end of April. April is 1 day shorter, so I need to earn a tad bit more per day than before. That is, if I wind up at $115 tomorrow. I might not, obviously.

I have 6,905 points. To hit $115, I need 7188 points, or 283 points by the end of the day.

If I manage that, then for April, I need to average 229 points per day for 30 days. Maybe a few good days of hitting over that will help me. I have a birthday party on Saturday, as well as an early Easter. Then the following weekend is our Easter. Then two weeks later is a large community wide yard sale I plan to attend (and photo graph). A few days past that is my 31st birthday, and the next day is Raegan's 13th birthday. So, plenty of photo opportunities.

$125 for April and $100 for May will give me $525 from Gather for my camping trip. I have $34 in my paypal right now, and a check for $12, both of which will go towards the camping trip as well, so $571 towards the camping trip. I have $500 set aside right now for it as well, from our taxes.

Anyway, those are my goals.
