All Cash/Debit and Emergency Fund…

As of Sunday, I moved to an all cash/debit system where I will no longer use my credit card for any personal spending. I will use my Bank of America Keep the Change checking account for my day to day spending activity.

As I look at my 2008 annual goals, I have decided to fully restore the $2k balance in my E-fund before paying off my cc/heloc in full. By the end of January, all of my December damage will be paid off in full and by the end of February (maybe January), I will have fully funded my E-fund again.

If all goes well, there will be a slight improvement in my net worth at the end of January and every month from here on out. Plus, I can check off two of my 2008 annual goals: all cash/debit and reestablish my E-fund. =)

I was looking at your Networth. Sorry I hope I don't sound too rude, but I was confused. Is your net worth a negative 92,735 or a positive 92,735?
From your blog, I see that you were a law student. So I am assuming you have a lot of student loans? Perhaps that is why?
