We need to get our stuff together and do our taxes... got Talon’s w2 the other day so I think we’re set. Hopefully we’ll get a little back. We paid off my car this week. Now we’re concentrating on the credit card and more savings. I like having real savings.
One of my goals for this year is to (finally) pay off the credit card completely this year and then only use it for month to month purchases and emergencies. If I’m actually good about it (and if the car doesn’t break down again), I should be able to do it by late spring.
It’d be nice to start saving a good amount at that point, in hopes of someday having a down-payment for a house. But that will also depend on if I decide to move to a nicer place. *sigh* The one redeeming quality of my current place is that it’s inexpensive for being big and out of the way (at least during the summer when I’m not paying out the nose for electric heat). To find another place that has a fenced yard and allows dogs *without* paying twice what I’m paying or more...that’s going to be tricky.
Erm...pardon the department of redundancy department error in that first sentence...
