Having posted my goals on Forum, I will put them here where I can keep an eye on them.
1. Save up $5000 in Emergency Fund. Currently at $1380. OMG, have to find $60 a week to get there by DEcember next year.
2. Find a permanent job and save 10% of gross for retirement. The govt saving regulations are changing next July, so may only be allowed to save 8%, in which case, the remainder goes into mutual funds.
3. Pay for essential house repairs in cash. Have $450 in the Freedom Fund at the moment and saving $30 a week.
If I meet all these, I will allow myself the reward of a trip to Australia in December. I have somewhere I can stay for free, so only have to come up with airfare. (Starts searching out budget fares)
