It’s brilliabt and a lot more practical than freezing your card in an ice block!

I think it is important to figure out why you want to get out of debt. It makes it easier to realize that when you forgo some impulse buy, you are getting closer to not just getting out of debt fullfiling certain dreams and values in your life.

I have set some great targets for this year in terms of contributions to investments.

The only other target that I have is to donate a certain amount of money to charity this year, this is related to my one of my personal values, but not to an overall goal or objective.

Maybe when I finally manage to purchase my house I’ll have some more ideas.
