50 and Fearless: The Goal List

Originally published January 1, 2020. Most recent update: 03-07-2020

After I completed my Last 40 Days of My 40s adventure, I made a list of things I wanted to do in my 50th year. Some of these things were things I didn’t get to do in my Last 40 Days (a few have been revised), others were goals I was setting for myself or just things that I think sound awesome.

Here is my 50 and Fearless Goal List:

  • Finance – Save $1000 in an account as an emergency fund – DONE March 6, 2020 – it took me a couple of months, but I did it! I also put it in a different bank than more everyday transactional bank without a debit card so I can’t get to it too easily. Go me!
  • Finance – Pay off three debts using the Debt Snowball method
