I’m a lapsed Catholic, so I don’t actually take Lent very seriously from a religious standpoint. I do like Lent because it’s a nice chance to restart goals from New Year’s that need to be jump-started.
For the most part, I know that saving money a few years ago in a piggy bank worked out pretty well for me. But I can’t think of a good 40-day goal for 2010. The best thing I can think of is to knit a few minutes every day. I have two projects that I’d really like to finish and that’s the best thing I can think of.
Instead I’m going to make personal financial to do list.
1. File Federal tax return.
2. File VA part year return.
3. File DC part year return.
4. Cancel Altima insurance (I am waiting for DC DMV to tell me they got my old tags.)
If I can get all four things done this year before Lent ends, I’d be happy. Sometimes I’m so lazy that I don’t file till the very last minute but this year, I’d really like to wipe out as much of my credit card debt as possible that I want the money now, NOW, NOW!

Seems like you have already gotten a jumpstart by writing down the goals you want to achieve. I think you can do it in 40 days (not quite 40 now). Good luck!
Lent 2010, is really a nice chance to restart goals.. but for me either its lent or not, it’s also good to start/restart goals.
