2009 Financial Goals
First off we want to get back on financial track for 2009. We did not do bad in 2008, but I had totally quit blogging. Now I am back.
Our goal and focus for 2009 will SAVING. We have managed to be debt free at this time but I am embarrassed to admit that we have next to nothing in non retirement savings. 2009 is the year to fix that.
Our first goal is emergency savings. I have just purchased an 11 month cd with a 3.75% rate as a first step. I will add to this CD or start a new one if the rates rise. Each month my goal is to put $500 into emergency savings. That will hopefully give us $6,000 by the end of the year. That is not a hefty emergency plan, but a start.
