So when we got married Leap Year Day ‘08, we were roughly $30k in debt. Over the next year, we were a bit lax-a-daisy about getting it paid off. Today, we’re at about $14k in the whole. The plan/goal to be paid off by Christmas this year. It’s looking good so far – yay! :D

How I did it: With the economy as it is, I have found this particular goal most obtainable. Hopefully, I can continue living a frugal lifestyle once our circumstances rebound. Read how I did it…
How I did it: After a very long and sometimes tiring journey, I have finally achieved all necessary credits to fulfill my BA in English from the University of Maryland. Read how I did it…
How I did it: To accomplish this goal, I signed up (for free) with PostCrossing. It was so easy, fast, and worth it. My first sends were to Finland, Belarus, and Arizona (which is eerie b/c I had a penpal in 4th grade who also lived in AZ, apparently 30min from the postcrossing address). Check it out! www.postcrossing.com Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do. :) Read how I did it…

This weekend, I’ve signed up for my first Graduate-level course to begin the first week of April. Yay!
I contacted the African library program, who seemed considerably eager at first but quickly waned, and have not heard back from them for nearly 6 months. Therefore, I am going to put this goal on hold until I can feasibly comlplete it. Good luck to all who are actively pursuing it.
