August 2009 Goals Update

by mapgirl on September 9, 2009

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

Big fat fail. Again.

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

A small improvement. It’s 30.5% but I will be drawing some of it down since I have some planned expenses coming due this month.

Of course today none of this mean anything. My friend, S, lost her battle to breast cancer after 5 long years of hope and crushing sadness. I am happy that she was able to control her end by selecting a hospice to make her comfortable in her final days. I heart goes out to J, her husband, who has stood by her for many years during her illness. They found each other later in life and seemed very happy together.

Please do your cancer screening self-exams.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I’m glad she found a good hospice and was truly loved. My condolences to her family and friends.

My grandmother died from cancer (unknown primary). Now the family does check ups with the doctor and my aunt caught hers early.

Sorry to hear about your friend, good to hear it was on her own terms, too many people do not get that chance.
