I am starting this to make myself accountable. In the next year I have to replace my car, move, and send my daughter to college. I am a little overwhelmed by the whole idea of paying for even one of these things let alone all of them.
Moneywise I think I can do it. However, we have lived in the same rental property for 6 years and there is a lot of "stuff" to get through. I only want to move about half of it. We have faced this before and can do it again. I figure that we have 6 months to downsize, save and plan.
I have also over scheduled myself for the last 6 years. I also plan to downsize my work hours and volunteer hours. I am not going to cut out everything just get it down to a manageable level.
You might be thinking that with everything that is going on I should work more. However when I say downsize what I mean is go from 60 hours to 40.
Wish me luck.
