Get FINANCIALLY Fit: Another Goal Down!

In November, we were able to cross another HUGE goal off our list:
  1. Establish an emergency fund of $1000 CHECK
  2. Pay off Loan #1 - car.  CHECK
  3. Pay off Loan #2 - credit card. GOAL: Paid off by Christmas 2013 CHECK
CHECK CHECK CHECK!!!!

It was so exciting to hit SEND on that last payment.  After we did it, we both just looked at each other and grinned like idiots.  When we started, this loan felt MASSIVE, and we didn't think we'd have it paid off until March.  And now, it's gone!  ALL gone!  And the money we were putting toward that monthly is now going toward our next goal:
  1. Establish an emergency fund of $1000 CHECK
  2. Pay off Loan #1 - car.GOAL: Paid off by September 2013. CHECK
  3. Pay off Loan #2 - credit card. GOAL: Paid off by Christmas 2013 CHECK
  4. Pay off Loan #3 - other car. GOAL: Paid off by end of school year
  5. Pay off Loan #4 - student loan.
The end of the school year, the end of the school year, the end of the school year.  We can do this!  It really is amazing to look back at this list and realize we've accomplished it all in only four months!  We are so thankful - and appropriately so, in this season of Thanksgiving - for this HUGE blessing!
