Default Goals for the rest of the year

So I woke up today and realized that 2008 is almost 1/3 over. Wow! Where does the time go? Anyway, there are a few things that I would like to accomplish before this year ends. One, pay off the last of my credit cards. Two, pay off my truck. Three, finish a few projects around the house that were started in the fall.

Also, I'm graduating school in a few weeks, so I'm looking at student loan repayments starting in November or December. I need to figure that out, but it depends on what kind of an interest rate I can get on them as to how I approach them.

For now, I am satisfied with the amount that I am saving and investing each month. I'm putting away somewhere around 25% of my yearly gross income. My goal in the next few years will most likely focus on paying down debt. I'll probably be holding the line so to speak with my savings amount. That is of course unless I get a new higher paying job as a result of the degree that I will be getting.

What does everyone else have in terms of goals for the rest of the year?
