Number:  51894 of 307585  Is anyone else goal-setting for the
new year?  1. Open a money market account or interest-bearing
checking account where I can keep my quarterly/yearly virtual
accounts (insurance, etc.), now that the balance is high enough
to be worth it. 2. Start a 'Holiday Club' virtual account so I
don't have to change my budget, as I did this year, to pay cash
for Christmas presents. 3. My original debt-payoff plan had my
CC payoff date in Sep '01, but I don't know if that will happen
given recent changes. Keep working on the debts, definitely, and
hopefully get the 2k Citibank and 1.5k First USA Visa paid off,
and work on the 4k MBNA biggie. 4. Continue paying my car loan
off and saving to a 'new car' fund. 5. Pay cash for copays and
deductibles for doc visits and optometrist etc. I need to do. 6.
