*Re-prioritizing
- Get out of debt FIRST (March 2009)
- Start investing 5% into 401(k) (as long as company matches otherwise I may consider a lesser amount)
- Contribute 5% (gross income) to my Roth IRA
- Create and maintain an E-Fund (contribute 5% net)
- Start up 529 Plan for kiddies
Once I’m 100% I want to start working on building positive credit. I’m reading On My Own Two Feet…again to figure out they best route to take. I’ll just cross this bridge when I get to it.

This is a great list of goals. Like I said previously, I think by creating a ”get out of debt list”, this will definitely help keep you focused and cheer you up.
I know your pain; the road to getting out of debt is hard but your drive is so inspiring. I am glad I stumbled on this blog!
I think what I find hardest is to save but NOT dip my fingers in the savings account.
