We seem to be on-track with our goals so far.
Paid off the GTI, will pay off DH's credit card in a couple weeks.
So now I need to start thinking of additional goals.
For starters, we are going back to see DH's family next month. I've allocated $1700 for the trip between gas/food/hotel. DH's dad has pretty much decided against getting a pacemaker so this may be the last time we see him.
1) I'd like to save at least 1 month's worth of living expenses this year ($7300)
2) I'd like to also pay off my credit card
3) Visit Hawaii in October so that I can see my Dad and he can see the kids again
4) Graduate with my M.S. in Accounting and have an accounting job lined up so that I can take the CPA exam next year
I'll probably have to take a paycut coming up this year if I switch jobs. Right now I work from home and because I don't have to worry about childcare, its almost like I'm making $57K/year.
If I work outside the home, but in the industry I'm trained, a more likely salary would be around $45K+.
So we'll see. Overall these are my goals for the year.
