I LUV Van Morrison !! One of his works of beauty is a song called Keep it Simple.
I've been messing about with my April Budget... I've moving into my own place this weekend so the look of the budget is going to change...
What I'm wondering is do you guys find it easier to just concentrate on one goal at a time, complete it and then move on to the next ?
Or do you have 3/4 different active goals at the same and knock little pieces off each as you go along ?
Which approach has worked best for you ?
Keep it Simple ?

The long term one keeps you focused on the future, the short term ones give you something to look forward to and the mid term ones keep you feeling sane when you aren't making headway on the long term one!

The crux of the matter for me is whether I should fund my 6 mth EF fund before or after I go on my travelling trip.... The sensible thing would be to fund the EF first and then travel.... however, I don't know if I can hold out that long !! I also think a trip would be a fair reward for getting control of my money, building a small EF and getting out of debt....
I think I'll made the 6 month EF a medium term goal and the trip a short term goal ( as in within 2 yrs hopefully !!).
Getting debt-free will also be a short-term goal......I'm gonna refinance my loan so that it will be fully paid before Xmas 2010...
Trip hopefully sometime in 2011 .... all going well !!
Will start saving for it now....
Thanks again guys !! :-)
