Our basic goals for 2010 break down like this:
1) Max out our Roth IRA's
2) Save 7% of basic pay in TSP
3) Pay off home equity loan
4) Save money for college
5) Add money to our emergency fund
6) Pay down/off van loan
7) Save cash for a truck
8) Convert IRA's (if feasible)
I plan to flesh these goals out with exact numbers soon. These goals will take us into 2011 when we expect my husband to return from overseas.
The retirement goals are automated, so these will be easy. The home equity loan is top on my list with an expected payoff at the end of February!
We often have focused goals. One or two big ones at a time. My husband's deployment will bring in extra cash so we are going to tackle several goals at a time.

Your HEL and my loan from my dad will probably cross the finish line very close to each other!
