I have already saved $1000, but I wanted to get myself a cushion. So, I’m targeting $2000. I’m currently $716.27 away from achieving that end.

How I did it: It really didn't have to take me 4 months to do this...I actually put the plan together in probably less than an hour, but I procrastination makes things take longer :)I got the inspiration to sit down and work it out so I went with it. Opened up a word document and starting clarifying what I was trying to do this year. I stayed at it until I finished. Read how I did it…
1) Set up a filing system using the David Bach worksheet. (Oct)
2) Schedule my debt snowball
3) Schedule a financial date with myself where I monitor and pay my bills, calculate my net worth once a month.
I’m actually on my way with this. I have started using the bill pay service through my bank and I have automated an extra payment to one of my credit cards. I do need to do some more organizing. As matter of fact, I am going to be setting up a file system based off a worksheet I got off of David Bach’s website.
