$20 Challenge

January 18th, 2007 at 05:00 am

Last year I intended to do this, but... Well "tabula rasa" - here's to a clean slate, a new year. I'm really looking forward to reading other comments on ideas for the $20 challenge. This should be fun...
My goal for this year is $4000 to fund a Roth. That comes to about $333/mo. I assume at this point much of it will come from ebay. This is new to me as I have never used ebay. I won't be including "coupon money". I am going to try to blog regularly (weekly?) and use you guys as my "accountability partners". Thanks for all the encouraging comments so far.

New Year - Tabula Rasa

January 4th, 2007 at 10:01 pm

Tabula Rasa is latin for "clean slate". On the website newsletter for 48 Days.com, Dan Miller has an excellent article encouraging us to look forward to what 2007 can hold, even if 2006 was less than spectacular. He quotes Thomas Edison commenting on a fire that destroyed his lab..."All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God, we can start anew."
Here's to all of us - continueing with our successes and starting anew with a fresh start on last year(s) on the "less than successful" parts.
