2008 & 2009 Goals

I'm jumping right in to this blogging! So, these are the remaining 2008 goals:

* Re-fund my emergency fund ($150 to get it back to $1,000)
* Pay off the rest of my credit card debt: $5,286

I'm on an end-of-the-month pay schedule at work. Yeah, living off one check a month can be tough. That's why I pay ALL of my bills as soon as the money hits the bank! Anyways, I have three more paychecks for 2008: October, November, and December. It's going to be tough, but I'll use all of my remaining money after tithing, paying my bills (rent, utilities, cell phone, student loans), and setting aside money for food and gas to get rid of that pesky consumer debt! Also, the extra cash I get from my part-time and blogging gig goes straight to the bank to pay on a card.

I've already thought about my goals for 2009, too!

* Fully fund an IRA
* Increase my emergency fund from $1,000 to $7,500.00 (approximately 6 months of living expenses)
* Pay off private student loan - Approximately $4,500
* Save for a new car - Approximately $6,500

These goals are aggressive, but obtainable. I'll update them as I meet each one (or add to them).
