I hope to be debt free with $25k in savings by the end of the year.

I have about $3100 left in CC debt that should be paid off and some interest free medical debt that's about $2500.

I also hope to be able to give more this year. I've been so down about some health issues that I've had for the past couple of years that I think it will help me out a lot on the stress level if I could help someone else. I've been focusing on my own problems that I've taken for granted how blessed I truly am!!! I hope to do something for someone not for my glory or recognition...just because I think it's my time to do it!!

Otherwise, just continue to save and invest, keep a handle on the spending and keep plugging away at work.
Ditto. Keep doing what we've been doing for years and years.
