Laura

In my 20's I was a teacher and a mis-manager of my money. Through a series of events in my mid-20's I woke up and began to become a manager of my money. Now, in my early 30's, although I am no longer teaching, I am still managing my money. I am debt free. :) My top 3 personal goals are: 1. Run a 5k in 38 minutes or less by December 2009. 2. Live a consistently healthy lifestyle in terms of life/work balance; diet; and exercise. 3. Give of myself to others, and enrich my life with friendships old and new. Emergency Fund: (6 months Expenses Only) 100% funded.
