February 2009 Update

I just updated my list; a few more things are checked off! It's hard to believe that I only have about a year left! For a while I considered just starting my 1001 days over before they were done, but now I think I am going to stick it out just to see how many I can finish.

So, as for what I've completed or changed:

#6 and #10- I payed my Chase card off to a zero balance. I'm now only using it for groceries. I pay it off right away and earn 3% cash back! Also, I changed #10 from from making $50K in a year to paying off my Citi card. It just seems a bit more feasible right now.

#29- I've definitely been in bed before 10:30 quite a bit recently. Getting up at six will do that to you I guess...or maybe I'm just getting old :(

#68- I've read 39 books out of 101. I don't think I'm going to finish this one, but that's ok. Every book read is a small victory!

Not too many changes, but I still feel like I made huge strides financially in the last year. This year I'm going to keep up with the debt payments since they're pretty much habits now, but I'm also going to focus more on being happy and doing fun things I enjoy. I've started an emergency fund, a new car fund, and a travel fund; which I'm totally psyched about!

Even though I know I won't finish everything within the next year, I'm looking at it as a half-full cup. I'll think of it as XX number of things accomplished in the last 3 years instead of thinking how many I didn't do. That, and I'm definitely keeping whatever I don't accomplish on my next list :)
