I Won't Meet One Of My New Years Goals

One of my goals was to save an additional $500. Because of my finances that is very questionable. I'll get close and may even make it, but it won't be easy. My goal of adding 26 additional shares of stock, not gonna happen. No way. That's almost double my $500 goal. And I just don't see myself getting that money. I still have my regular bills to pay. School is also a factor. Books, tuition, everything. I'm still going to save something in the stock, but I think it will be less than 10 shares.
