Save up six months worth of living expenses

Yay!

5% to go…

9% to go.

and 13% to go…

82% done, 18% to go.

20% to go…

6 months might be aiming too high…maybe I should change this goal to 2 months. This wouldn’t be so hard if I was actually making any money…and the only one spending it! We just moved and want to try to buy a(nother) house this year. And Husband just needed to get new tires. And I’m taking a trip with my daughter to visit family in April. Sigh.

Just say no to debt. I was amazed at how easy the first thousand came. After that, it’s addictive. But still not to six months worth yet. Any new ideas or thoughts?

It is good seeing the money in the bank finally grow.
It is not much, but now I feel I can survive if something unexpected happens.

but now I have to use a huge chunk of it, as I am not getting paid this summer while getting certified…

sigh

but as JSuz told me, if you can do it once, you can do it again. And I will do it again, even on a much smaller paycheck. Eventually.
