Bucket List Part 1

I've divided my bucket list into categories. The first one that I will be posting are my financial goals. I believe that I have to get my finances on track as graduate school has left me with student loans and credit card debt. In order to lessen the stress that comes from money issues, this is one category of my life that I need to take control of right now so that I can enjoy the things that I really want to do.

Before 30:

1. I will pay off my credit cards.
2. I will pay off my student loans.
3. I will build a 6-month emergency fund.
4. I will open and fund my IRA Roth.

To achieve these long-term goals, I have set short-term goals for 2010.

1. Pay off credit card by March 2010.
2. Save $4,000 in savings account.
3. Save $2,000 in IRA roth.
4. Have a yearly budget of $1,300 for groceries.
5. Have a yearly budget of $600 for eating out.
6. Have a yearly budget of $960 for entertainment.
7. Pay for vacation trip with cash.
