    I have to commend your diligence in record keeping. The CC payment is great! You certainly on a great road. Please check your math on "money saved" You may be off by ten bucks or I may be a litle to tired to comment. God bless.

    Great job !!

    Sometimes I feel like I've tightened the straight-jacket too tight - in that all my paychecks are pre-allocated into retirement, EF fund, specific goals etc etc and I seem to be working for very little here-and-now satisfaction.

    However, in 10 yrs time, I'm confident me and you will be reaping the rewards of this financial discipline as we'll be closer to/experienceing financial freedom !! "Yes We Can" (copyright Mr Obama lol)
