I just checked the balance on my car loan and the last payment went through. My balance is now $1,179.90! I’m so excited looking at it. Special thanks to my husband!

Once the car is paid off my plan is to have 1/2 to paying off my student loan debt and the other 1/2 to put into a high yield savings account. I’m going to automatically schedule the amount so I can actually put the money to good use. 

An observation I made while writing an update to my goals for this year:

The biggest lesson I’ve learned? Don’t give up; take it step by step. If you make a mistake, modify your course, change gears and keep your focus.

How have you been doing with your goals?
