update 9/1/2015 Okay. Some of you may call this cheating. But there are a few of these I simply cannot afford to do, especially since I'm doing the Total Money Makeover. So I've changed a few of my goals. I won't tell you which ones...hehe. But I've changed some. And these are not things I've already completed, just so I can mark them off. They are still challenges.
