Goals

I need goals to keep myself on track and motivated!  I've got a few steps to get there, but baby step #7 is Build Wealth and Give!  I want to be able to give and generously!

I not only want to be able to give money but my time also!  A couple weeks ago after church, my husband said to me, "I'd love to be able to just jump on a bus and go help with mission work."  (I apparently was either spacing off or in the middle of taking the 2 y/o to the nursery when the minister was talking about this.)  One of my goals is to be able to do this without having any financial worries.

I want to call Dave Ramsey and yell, "I'm debt free!!!" on the radio.

I want to teach my kids to be wise with money and I want to begin saving for their college so that they don't start out their adult lives in debt.  My daughter always says she's going to be a doctor, I don't want her to feel like she can't go to med school b/c it costs so much.  She's only 4 so I'm sure she'll change her mind a few times before that. 

And one more slightly selfish goal, I wanna take my kids on a Disney Cruise!  This may be partially for me too.  As soon as I get baby step #2 complete AND have baby step #3 (a fully funded emergency fund) done I plan to save for vacation, so that we can pay for it without incurring any kind of debt!
