30 by 30: the year before 30
My birthday fell the weekend before sorority recruitment at work, so I was not doing any sort of blogging. My usual birthday 30 by 30 update did not happen, so here it is a [few] months late on my half-birthday. I managed to cross a few more things off in 2016 (#19, 22, and 26).
1. Read the Bible completely. Every single verse, every single book.
2. Save $5,000 a year each year.
2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
We had saved $5,000 but wound up having to buy two new cars. So no positive balance on this year’s savings.
3. Complete my Masters degree.
I’m in my last semester. Hallelujah.
4. Pay off at least 50% of my undergrad student loans.
5. Run one organized race (5K or longer) a year.

7. Get healthy.
8. Lose weight.
