Any financial resolutions/goals/neat ideas for 2010?

Of course the obvious is getting how of debt. But how are you doing it.

What are some ideas you got for saving money, getting deals you name it.

Financial diets are just as important as food diets.

Share away.

Getting a job is my first goal.

Second is to try and keep my condo

Third is try not to get anymore debt if I have to move.

Fourth is to get rid of the rest of my debt.

Fifth start rebuilding my nest egg.

Hopefully this will all happen within the first part of the year. Second part will depend on how well I did on the first part.

Signing the papers on the refi on my house this Thursday. Locked into a 4.35 rate for 15 years and will save a few hundred a month immediately and a helluva lot more by the time it is paid off.

Continuing to build up an emergency savings account so that I can cut out credit card useage. That was my goal for 2009 as well, and we did pretty good. Credit card debt should be gone by the end of this year, and savings account actually has more than 3 numbers in it now, and I am not including anything to the right of the decimal.

Its really just a matter of being patient. We started with just 25 bucks every payday out of both my wife's and my paycheck. Put it into a account with no atm card at a credit union thats 20 miles away. Its hard to take the money out. We have gradually increased the amount over the last year.

I just need to learn how to hold on to money and save. If I learn how to do that, this year will be successful to me.

Have a plan man.

If you aim for nothing, 100% of the time you will hit it.

Look at what Deac is doing. Set aside some cash into a savings or cd and make it kinda sorta hard to get too. Automate it though. Set it and forget it and before you know it, you have a nice side fund built up.

good luck

[pstall]

I got out of debt last year. Hoping to save enough cash to buy a house.

By bringing my lunch with me, I saved over 3 grand last year. That simple trick did wonders.

[scpanther22]

Well I have some money saved up I would like to do something productive with it.

[Carolina Husker]

Buy a house.

With a baby on the way i'm trying to get our most recent car paid off by the time the little one gets here

[Towelboy]

we just got someone to rent our old house. their rent pays the mortgage. since i plan to sell that home in the next two years, should i overpay the mortgage to reduce the principle or take the extra funds and stash them in a high interest CD? where else should i put those funds?
