Over the winter months I put money in my “Golf Fund”. That way, I have money for new equipment, green fees or what ever. It almost feels like its free.

I am planning to buy house later this year and don’t want to do anything that might have a negative impact on my credit score.

Plus, they usually have a higher rate than ING Direct.

I’m aiming for the Grover Cleavland monthly plan after I finish off my credit card debt.

I’m picturing a full-size van with shag carpeting lining the full interior: floor, sides, ceiling. Maybe something like the A-Team van.
