It's a New Year

January 1st, 2008 at 02:54 pm

First, I would like to wish everyone a happpy and prosperous New Year.

Secondly my goals for this year is to pay off the CCs by the end of Febuary, save $10,000 for my house fund by April and an additional $8,000 by the end of December which would later be used as my EF.

In addition to these goals I would like to have my auto loan paid atleast by half by December.

In regards to my education, if I stick to the plan I will be graduating in December and rather than having a huge party I plan on purchasing a townhouse and have a small graduation/house warming party
