Knowing we would be on vacation a third of the month, and that we'd be celebrating three birthdays, I didn't set any other goals beyond debt repayment and savings. Good thing, too: March felt like a very full and busy month, yet I did nothing very creative, fitnessy, philanthropic or environmental. I did keep up the green habits we have so far, and walked around a LOT in Vegas (6 miles one day!), and dropped off the food drive items I had already collected in February. So it wasn't a total wash in those areas, but I'm glad I didn't set any ambitious goals.

Debt- and savings-wise, I did great this month:

MARCH 2009 GOALS:
1. Pay off at least $2100 of debt
Balance as of 3/31: $400,680
Goal balance: $400,868
Progress: DONE! ($2,288 paid)

2. Save at least $540 for baby/emergency fund.
EF balance at 3/26: $2,953.79
Goal balance: $2,898.46
Progress: DONE! ($595.33 saved)

I didn't have to do any real work to reach these; the key is good budgeting and careful planning. I can look ahead to the next month and fairly accurately state the minimum I'll be able to pay off and save. Anything extra that comes in is gravy.

Yay March! It was a really fun month. Looking forward to coming up with goals for April.
