I’ll raise the white flag, you’ve called me (and probably some others) out! LOL I never really thought of putting a goal in perspective when it comes to debt reduction (my #1 priority now). Since it’s a pretty big black diamond mountain (and I suck at skiing!), I’ll stick to the bunny slope and take my goals in six month increments – like for example – in 6 months, I want $X paid off or to have 10% of the debt paid off, etc. I think if I look at it in that perspective, things will be A LOT easier! Thanks for the post :)

This post was right on time. I meant to increase my 401k percentage at the beginning of the month and forgot – I just went online and did it.

You’re absolutely right about financial sense being a state of mind rather than being “good with numbers”. Once you’re focused, it will lead to results. We’re nearly consumer debt free. This was a huge goal of ours. We had over $20,000 in debt and now we only have a about $300 left. This was done in about a year and a half. We’re really proud of ourselves. And, living within your means and honestly is the only insurance you have to save for the future and reach your goals.
