Finance Travels

The money-sucking months of November and December are now complete, and I couldn’t be happier.  In addition to all of the gifts, we’ve traveled to extreme ends of four states, resulting in increased fuel & lodging expenses.

This December report includes a $1,525 write down on the value of our vehicles.  We also opened our second in a series of four $5,000 CDs representing our emergency fund.

I’m now looking forward to two of our traditionally cheaper months – January and February.  The goal is to get enough saved up so that we can open up our final two emergency CDs and then move on to saving more for retirement and college funds.

I’ll post a year-end write up to see if we met our 2009 goals soon.
