Reputation: (33) | Same goal as 2008. Pay off at least $10k non-mortgage debt and still have enough money left over for a nice mini-vacation in the summer. |

Reputation: (36) | Heh, mine's much more fundamental. Get a job and income again. I quit my last one b/c I couldn't put up with an idiot/jerk boss any longer. |

Reputation: (12) | I'm in a funny point right now, in an in-between period... I don't necessarily have anything I can save up for (which is in stark contrast to the past 5 years) in the near future. I might start setting aside money for a down payment for sometime in the next couple of years though. |
