2009 Goal #1
Pay down credit card debt by December 31
Strangely still on track at the end of May. However, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. My balances will remain flat for the next month. After that, if I get a renter in by July 1st, I’ll be able to push a lot more money towards my credit cards.
2009 Goal #2
Fill the Save-O-Meter to $4K
My tax return came in during May and it covered a large chunk of my condo renovations. However, I have liquidated everything and my Save-O-Meter is at its lowest since I began keeping track of it. 3% represents about ~$120.00. I will probably fail this one this year, but it’s a struggle between paying off my debt in Goal #1 and building up my savings.
If anything, I have changed my lunch habits by packing it a little more frequently. It’s a mix of needing to save up money for my renovation, but I am also packing lunch so I don’t have to leave the office. Work is picking up and I don’t have time to go get something. It’s either pack lunch, eat out of the vending machine, or eat nothing.
