Welcome world!

Today is the day that I decided to share my debt-free journey through this journal. I usually post in various financial boards like MSN's Your Money...but I need to do more.

* Every week I listen to Dave Ramsey through his online radio
* I've read Automatic Millionaire and Smart Women Finish Rich by David Bach
* Listened to Suze Orman
And yet, I am not debt-free. There is not a one-size fit all solution. I still want to enjoy my life and not be financially limited. I am also a single/mid- now approaching late thirties woman, who needs to navigate through this dog-eat dog world (cry me a river, right).

*raises right hand*
I,GI Jane, vow to:
1. Stay the course = knock Salliemae out of my life...forever
2. Sell my dang house (now a rental until this summer)
3. Build up a $12K emergency fund
4. Max my Roth IRA and Thrift Savings Plan (when Sallie is out of my life)
5. Save for a down-payment on my dream house
I think that is enough for now.

BTW, my brother found this cool bird in front of our house...a very auspicious sign!

Happy Holidays!
