can’t stress #4 enough. I just recently upgraded our dog kennel to the xlarge size that new costs over $150. Got a used one that is perfectly fine for $75 and was able to turn around and sell my old one for $40 that same night. I ended up with a $150 kennel for $35 bucks.

Good post! The best part is making the plan, because if you have a roadmap, you just might make it to where you want to go!

So, at almost 40 (just turned 39), what qualifies as young and ambitious? Am I OK to be here?

Hey, I just found your site from the finance carnival over at cleverdude.com. I’m 28, so your blog is right up my alley. You just got yourself a new subscriber. By the way, I enjoyed your post, and think those things should be really easy.

Too late…just canceled.

We’re flying less and less, it seems, and it’s just not worth the reduced benefits.

This is a good idea for a post! Unfortunately, none of these really apply to us… perhaps a part 2 might be in order tomorrow??

With regards to #2, I plan on cutting AND cancelling up an airline mile card, since they’ve stopped giving double-miles at grocery stores and home improvement stores (places I visit frequently). On top of that, there’s an annual fee of $85. It’s the newest card I own, and has the lowest credit limit. My partner and I are both cardholders of that same account, so we’d both be losing a card.

Other than the risk of our credit scores dropping, is there any reason we should NOT completely cancel that card?
