If I can make it work, I’ll have just over $5,000 in savings on Dec 31, 2012. How sweet is that! Vacation for 2013, saved for!!

@Edward Antrobus – Good for you – that’s still a nice challenge! Give it a shot :)
@Stephanie – Fun! Maybe it’ll make doing laundry more bearable? ;) We might try and do our own floors in one of our rooms first to see how it goes, but something tells me I wont’ have the patience either for it, haha… gotta give it a shot though!
@Nate St. Pierre – GOOD! I liked that they were steps you could (literally) check off too – the whole PDF turned me on to be honest with you ;)
@Brett – Glad you found some of these ideas helpful :)
@Juan – Amen on that, brotha.
@Megan Cassidy – Oooh that’s kinda cool. I like that :) I’d probably start with less cursing… which always makes me want to curse MORE since I can’t do it, haha…
@Michelle @ Making Sense of Cents – Awesome! Good luck!
@cashflowmantra – Damn, that’s great! $30k is nothing to sneeze at. I hope you reach it! It’s an entry-level salary right there :)
@Jen @ Master the Art of Saving – Haha, yeah you do! Good for you on batting away the others and keeping your focus – that’s the mark of a very smart person ;)
@LB – I hear that. I’m always trying to start a new blog on something cuz I have all these ideas and brain waves, but never know how to streamline it (besides this blog – which is def. hard to maintain at times – talking about money every day takes a lot outta you! haha…). Let me know how Jobs’ bio goes too – it’s on my “maybe” list to check out.
@Jennifer Lissette – You can do it!! That 10-1 isn’t stupid if you can knock a lot of it out in time before it resets ;) I don’t know much about those, but I think you can do it? Or refi once it gets closer? (Easier said than done, I know).
@Angella – Good :) Little goals = Larger results later. Glad you found some you can try out!
@Brent Pittman – You know it brother. If you can make $3k blogging, you can then make $6k and $12k etc etc. It’s figuring out *how* that’s the hardest ;)
@One Frugal Girl – Oh wow, that is a LOT – jeez… I’m sorry to hear that :( I def. hope you hit $7k too then! I have faith in you! :)
@SimpleIslandLiving – I am in LOVE with your blog!! I literally clicked over there to find out how you got unemployed, and been reading for the last 40 mins! (Well, also cuz I’m a slow reader, but still – very captivating and interesting!). I’m gonna link back to you later on my site – hang in there!! :)
@Kelsey @ Zero to One Million Challenge – Yikes, scary! 9% is no joke either, boy… I hope you can knock off a big chunk of it! No shame in doing it in 2 years rather than 1 either, once it’s gone it’s gone, baby! ;)
@Megan H – I hope the move goes well! That’s exciting :) One of my favorite things to do growing up (we moved 17+ times due to dad being in the military – was so fun!)
@brooklyn money – NICE! That’s no joke yo, I hope you hit it!
@AverageJoe – I liked it too :) Nice and simple point w/ the heart being the only thing in color. Good luck on your no spend challenge!
