New goal/gift to myself

Ok -- I have been doing OK at slowly paying down my 2 CCs in chunks while at the same time adding to my kids 529 accts.  I have college accts to over $15000 and got my large  CC  down to under $10 -- which helped me feel a little better and my smaller one is at $3600.

Well over the weekend I made a decision to  set a new GOAL and give myself a "GIFT" and get my smaller card GONE by my birthday in 6 months from today!!

So here I go woth the 3 "Gs" --- GOAL  --- GIFT  --- GONE!!!

WISH ME LUCK!!!

Lila

I really like your goal. What about in 6 months. Are you going to save some money for yourself after the small one is gone?

Here is to the 3 Gs!!

They did a study of Harvard students and found those that made goals were more successful than those who did not - regardless of GPA, family income, etc.  Goals are IMPORTANT and having clear goals enables you to focus your attention and accomplish them.

 

GOOD JOB!!  We are here to support that very worthy goal!!
