Scan all of my husband's late fathers photos
Update 7 months ago

Had my sister and mom over two weekends ago and scanned all but one box; got a lot pared down. Some stuff we need to take photos of. Have several albums still to scan.



Save at least $7000 in 2009
Update 7 months ago

Automatically (from paychecks) putting $700/mo. in savings account. If this keeps up and we don’t pull out of the savings, we will make our goal.

We could potentially (if we don’t pull out of savings at all, don’t spend our tax return, and I get a bonus of $1200 at the end of the year) have $20K in the savings account, which is ultimately where we want to be.



Invest 10% of our salary for retirement
Update 7 months ago

Started IRA in March. Putting $200/mo. in.

So, we’re investing now 10% of our salary.

Just have to keep it up!
