This is a great question! This year my focus is all about saving!

1. Getting more $$$ in all our savings accounts, EF, max out 401K and 2 IRAs, fully fund kids savings and 529s. I guess that's alot more than 1 but since I add them all up to mean the same thing=save our heads off I'll count it as 1.

2. Pay off my dh's car, this will open up over $400 to add to savings each month

3. Save for home repairs b/c we plan to sell this house and move when the market gets better so we are preparing for that ie, new carpet, paint, moving expenses, etc.

Ours for the rest of this year are:

2. Maximize our retirement savings.
3. Increase our savings for fun things like vacations.
