The thing through all of my financial endeavors and even to work struggles or life’s hardships, I have to remember we’re still young.. I know personally I’m only 23.. I remember, I’m only 23 once..That doesn’t lead me to vacation alot, last year I only went to Florida, didn’t get to go anywhere else… But sometimes you have to remember just how we’re only this age once and it’s nice to splurge after the rest of the year’s hard work of saving and budgeting, and working,etc… The only thing I’d say is, I’d hold off vacations for 09 as a way to “pay yourself first”…

I’m so impressed that you are so responsible and so young. It’s really amazing to see what you’ve been able to accomplish so far. This leads to me think that you must have had some pretty great examples in your life? Mom or dad? Did they teach you about money? My mom taught me and I’m glad for it. I came to it later in life because I squandered my 20′s and now I’m getting it together now in my 30′s. Keeping on top of my money, I realize now, is insurance for my and family’s future. I can’t waste it.

You are doing far better than I am. A few mishaps here, unexpected expenses here and a wife that enjoys expensive things. All things considered we are doing good, but it has not been our greatest year.

I am however almost at my goal of ending the year with 0 credit card balances!

Awesome job!

You have done an amazing job with your finances, even in this economy. Your Freedom Fund is truly fantastic – as I’ve said before, you’re an inspiration!

(I think you should go on more trips. But, that’s the travel bug in me…)
