Do you have any short term goals you would like to accomplish in the next 6 months or so?
My goals right now are to pay off the rest of my car and credit cards, which right now is about $2500 left to pay on my car and about $6,000 to pay on my credit cards, so it's not too much... Hopefully I can have that paid off almost completely by the end of this year.
Then, I am going to put away as much money as I can each week to save for a down payment on a house. Hopefully I will be able to set aside at least $50-$100 extra each week for at least 2-3 months. Also, with that savings and my tax return, as well as whatever my boyfriend gets back in taxes in the beginning of the year, that should be enough for a down payment, which will hopefully be at least $10,000-$20,000.
I plan on getting a second job for at least a few months to reach my goals. In January I am supposed to be getting a promotion at work, so hopefully everything falls into place the way it's supposed to!

I plan to move in the next week and get settled in where ever God sends us. Then I plan to get some stuff done while we have a 3 month assignment and then its someplace new after that. Good luck on your goals, I wish you success.

We'll I have a couple of goals for the next 6 months. First I would like to get my own place again by the end of October is becoming kind of hard but I know that I will reach my goal as soon as possible. I am trying to make some extra cash online so I could have enought for the rent and the rent deposit which will probly equal out to be about 1,300 or more. I also want to pay off all my debts and improve my credit score because my plan is to save as much money as possible so I could actually end up getting a house for me and my family. I just recently started to work again and I finally ended up with a good job so I will keep on working and saving at the same time so I could actually accomplish my short term goals which with the help of god I know are possible. The most important thing for me is to get my own place again which is what I am mostly focus on right now all I need to do is come up with the money as soon as possible because I already found a nice apartment.

those are great goals, at this stage in my life, I do not have much in the terms of plans, I live day by day, I try to make money with my writing doing writing assignments etc. I have a barrage of tests and doctors appointments and so that is about it.

My short term goal is to pay the rest of my furniture loan. It has been on my mind for the past months and I need to settle this! I would like to get an extra job so that can help me to achieve my goal.
