I'm doing 14 things
The original goal was to save 3 months of living expenses in an emergency fund – that was before the events such as Lehman Brothers collapsing and the Dow Jones plummeting 777 points in one day. The revised goal is to have about 10 and half months saved ($10,000) for emergencies only. After numerous lifestyle changes such as moving back to my parents house, becoming obsessed with living frugally, and recently taking on a second job I am about half way there. The plan is to save 50% of my income until I reach that magical number.

How I did it: Well from the age of 12 I realized that I "needed" to get braces. Unfortunately my parents never had dental coverage which meant as I child I never had dental coverage. Paying out of pocket was also not an option. A few years ago after I graduated college and landed my first real job with dental benefits, I started doing research and discovered a new procedure for 6 month traditional clear braces. The majority of the expenses… Read how I did it…

I know my life is very hectic and busy right now but the very least I could is take a few minutes out of everyday and talk to God. I seem to “make” time for everything else why not God Almighty. Without being religious or anything I would like this to be a part of my daily routine. They say it takes 21 days to form a habit so I guess my goal is to do this consistently for 21 days.
