This New Year versus last year...how do you compare?
- I'm improving! Debt going down!
- 2005 threw me for a loop...I need to get back on track.
- I'm just getting my financial life in order in 2006.
- I have some major obstacles to get through in 2006.
- I think things will finally come together for me in 2006--hoping for progress.
- I should become debt free in 2006!
- I'm already debt free!
- My only debt is my mortgage!
- Things are really bad right now--not sure how I'll make it.
- Other--feel free to explain!

Things are definitely going down here!
All my best,

In the overall aspects of things - I think we are on the *very* slow climb up instead of drowning, compared to the last couple years.
2003 - stunk - since everything hit the fan
2004 - we were drowning just trying to survive
2005 - still just trying to survive but it *felt* a little more - secure - that's the word (not that anything is secure) but not waiting so much for the other shoe to drop type of feeling.

I voted major obstacle for 2006. I may or may not have a job in the next few weeks. Considering a possible relocation to a higher cost of living area so I will just have to wait and see what happens.
If I dont' have a job, I will at least get 3 months of severence pay, a lump payment of my vacation time and I have money in the savings.
If I do have a job - then things will look great for 2006 and I plan on paying down debt and increasing the savings, becasue I do know that eventually my job will move to a higher cost of living area and I need to be prepared.
This year has been a great year...
1. Got serious about our debt & started a budget.
2. Paid down our credit cards for almost $17k in June to $8900 today!
3. Paid cash for our vacation to Mexico this past June.
4. Had a totally cash Christmas & our debt still went down!
5. We started an emergency fund!
2006 Is going to be an even better year I am sure.
Hoping to have the remaining cc debt gone by Sept!
