I was a good girl. I set up the bill pay to my IRA for $20, an additional $20 to the student loans, bought myself a can of salted cashews and a coke for $5.09, and put the remaining $14.91 in the vacation savings for Dominican Republic.
As for the vacation savings - a girl's gotta have goals. Generally, I'm pretty happy with where we are financially. But the whole daily grind thing has to have some highlights or it gets old really quickly. So the next major vacation will be Dominican Republic for a week of sun and sand for our 10th wedding anniversary in 2010. It took me four years to save for Cancun. I'd like to save for DR in half that time since I'm now working full time. Cancun was paid for in full, in cash before we left (airfare, all inclusive resort, plus planned day trips, plus spending money.) It ran me just over $3000. It was the best Christmas we've had since we got married.
There isn't really a whole lot of stuff that I want that I don't already have. A 4 wheeler or golf cart to get around the lake would be nice. Michael wants a new car (and we've agreed to use our tax refund and his bonus next year as a large down payment on a new Saturn Aura for him with the fancy 8-way adjustable seat for his bad back.)
