I believe there is a universal Truth to the process of doing things right (Not that I have any idea what that actually means).
Goals for 2015:

Monthly post tax/HSA/401k contributions income: 2200. Partner is at 1800.


Find job closer to home OR, once lease is up in September, rent a slightly cheaper place that isn't 28 miles from work. (we pay $1200 a month for 1 bedroom + den + garage...not bad in Denver area, but it was a compromise made when my partner worked on the extreme north end of town and I worked on the extreme south end. Things may be changing on that front soon for both of us).

Increase 401k contributions to max match of 5% when I get raise in March if still at current company.

Quit smoking. Quit date set for January 3rd.
Good for health and pocketbook.

Lock up both credit cards and try not to use for entire year, doing a debt snowball to pay off one ($900 balance) entirely and get the other one (5k balance) cut in half.

Live on 2k of my salary. Save the rest. Doesn't sound like much, but seeing as I pay pretty much all the bills except for 1/2 the rent, and the phones due to partners insane student loans, it's a reasonable goal.
