One Check in the Bucketlist

2012 for me was a year of financial awareness. I learned more about savings, stocks, and other financial instruments. I also tried (hard!) to live within my means, to save enough funds for the rainy day, and to reduce my spending. And I'm still trying. I am now credit card debt-free and it feels great! I know my RFP instructors will be so proud.

I mentioned in my first post about my reasons for saving. The first item is to get my own car by 2013. And I guess all those savings and investments worked, because I'm buying a car!!! Well, we are. My significant other and I. This is our first huge purchase.
