March 2009: Goals Update

2009 Goal #1
Pay down credit card debt by December 31

Hey, I hit 31% in the middle of the month. Pretty cool. April will be rough since the Capitals are going to make the play offs and I have to front the money for those tickets.

2009 Goal #2
Fill the Save-O-Meter to $4K

In March I got a bonus from work and so I put 12% into my 401k, paid for plane tickets for me and boyfriend to go to California, and the rest went into my savings. Little by little. Bit by bit. I am slowly building this up, but I think I should work on saving more money every week. Currently it’s set to $30 a week, but I should bump that up. I find myself having a little more cash at the end of the month than expected, so I try to sweep some of the extra into savings. I am considering sweeping it into my credit cards instead.

Good luck! I’m $3800 from my CC pay-down goal as of today. Doing $50 a week automatically, and then whatever else I can throw in on top of it.
