I happened to do this yesterday…. I’m kind of cheating putting it on 43 things. I made auto-debit payments for 24 months, and now it is paid off.

7. Save $3000

I just changed this goal. Previously, it was to open a savings account. Now it is to save $1000.
The first step is still to actually open a savings account. I almost did it last week when I got paid, but I’ve been holding off because I’ve been considering joining a credit union instead of belonging to a bank.
I don’t really like my bank, but I’m already all set up with it. I know which credit union I would likely join, the Michigan Catholic Credit Union. The only problem is that the hours of my local branch aren’t very convenient. Of course, I would set up direct deposit, and the MCCU offers five free atms withdrawals a month, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
The real problem is going to be managing to go and set up my account.
I have continued to work on this goal each day this week. My impending move is good motivation.
I have entitled this endeavor: Operation Urge to Purge.
I have somehow managed to purge even more clothes. I have also moved onto my books and paperwork, and have purged large amounts of each. Besides just purging, I have also better organized my paperwork, photos, and keepsakes, etc.
