I think I should be making an extra $100/month (more or less), because I don't believe the school district has been paying me my master's degree bonus. So I'm going to talk to someone in payroll about that this week. (I like the idea of getting more money for doing exactly what I've already been doing!) I'm also going to try working for at least part of the summer this year, either by doing translations at home, teaching a class at a community college, or just getting a regular ol' job. Between those two things, I should be able to finally pay off my credit cards and (hopefully) save enough money to take a great vacation without having to go into debt.

Really great tips (and thinks for the link!). I think, for me, Step Five is the most difficult and the most important. If I'm not constantly reminding myself why I'm doing what I'm doing I can very easily slip back into old habits. Change isn't easy, but by putting all your ideas into practice hopefully it can become less hard. Courtney´s last blog post..Go ahead and make your resolutions, just don’t annoy anyone with them

How about Step Six: Do Your Homework! I realized after setting my goal of living on just my husband's income that I hadn't done the math to figure out if we can actually do that! I got carried away . . . but we absolutely can save a consistent amount of my salary every month and once I figure out how much that will be, I'll have my attainable goal.
