Number One Goal – Debt Free

Monday, August 31st, 2009

credit-card-debtMy number one goal is becoming debt free. It is only past losing weight by an inch lol.  My goal is to pay off as much of one visa card as I can this year and pay off the other credit card with an income tax refund. If I can pay off these two credit cards within six months it will allow me to focus on my remaining goals with somewhat of a clear concious. It is hard to plan a trip when I have debt, let alone purchase a rolex watch etc.

My goal is to save $1,000 in emergency cash for savings and pay my house payment ahead by one month. This will give me some breathing room. Right now I have no room to navigate and it puts a lot of mental stress on me with the work climit being the way it is. My car is getting older and a host of other things that I need to start preparing for. I would even go as far as to say that I eat more because of it also which is prohibiting me from accomplishing my second goal of losing weight.

I have several items for sale on Craigs List and some money coming in from my engraving business that should help considerably. It should knock a thousand dollars off my credit card. If I can get this one paid off then I can use the monthly money that was paying bills on it to help pay on the other card.

Rolex Datejust Wanted

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

rolex datejust One of the items on my goals list is to purchase a Rolex Datejust watch. This is vanity at it’s best. I usually don’t go for all the jewelry etc.. but I have always wanted to own a Rolex watch and the datejust is the one I want.

I’ve seen these used on eBay from around $1500-$2500. The one thing that scares me the most is the chance of getting scammed by a copy and not an original Rolex. I guess my only way to protect myself is to view the feedback rating and only purchase from someone with a high feedback. Also only deal with people in the same Country. I may not get this purchased for another couple of years but if I saved a dollar a day it would take about 4 – 5 years to get.
