| The holidays didn't cost a whole lot. Some nice gifts and plenty of family get together's made it enjoyable. Still saving for a trip this summer. Stocks are bouncing around but still better than they were in September so the retirement account is up. The Car and Mortgage debt are going down again. I am really planning on cracking the $100K debt amount before the end of this year and see no reason at this point it cannot be accomplished. Of particular gratification is two kids on their own for the most part, which helps in food, car costs, utilities, etc. though they haven't all left the roost yet. Really surprising what a difference that makes. Also discovered some old magic cards that are worth a lot more cash than I would have believed. Hence the bump up for $2K as a conservative estimate until I sell them on ebay and see what they garner me. Looking forward to the new year. |
