Cool Quote: "The roosters may crow, but the hens deliver." (Ann Richards)

Fun things to do before we leave Austin:
- Lunch at The Salt Lick (BBQ)
- Sunday Brunch at Fonda San Miguel (Mexican)
- Austin City Limits (try to score tickets)
- Bat Flight at Congress Ave Bridge
- Hike & Bike Trail (Town Lake)
- Cavern Tour: DONE!
- San Antonio (Alamo, Riverwalk)
- Houston (NASA)

BA (Balance Sheet Affluent, as explained in "The Millionaire Mind"):

Age x .112 x Total Annual Realized Income = Expected Net Worth

If you are 2 times your expected net worth, you are "Balance Sheet Affluent"

My goal is for my household to be a bit over BA (have 2.12 times its expected net worth) by the time my DH is 50.

Starting Number (4/30/07) = 1.32 times expected net worth

First Year Quarterly Goals:
7/31/07 = 1.440 [Result: 1.510]
10/31/07 = 1.435 [Result: 1.569]
1/31/08 = 1.430 [Result: 1.541]
4/30/08 = 1.425 [Result: 1.400]

Second Year Quarterly Goals:
7/31/08 = 1.550 [Result = 1.515]
10/31/08 = 1.550
1/31/09 = 1.545
4/30/09 = 1.530

Garage Sale Sorting Theme Song

Only 6 days to go until the "mother of all garage sales" ... I have been a sorting maniac! I am trying so hard to get rid of as much as I possibly can and resist coming up with excuses to keep things that I just don't need or love.

When I lose steam, I start singing my garage sale sorting theme song, out loud and slightly off key, to keep myself motivated:

Saw my life this morning
Lying at the bottom of a drawer
All this junk I'm saving
God knows what this stuff is for
And whatever I believed in
This is all I have to show
What the hell were all the reasons
For holding on for such dear life
Here's where I let go...

From "Almost Home" by Mary Chapin Carpenter

It will be nice to have the garage sale over and done with, and to have my sanity back! Smile

Love the song!! Congrats on getting rid of so many things. I tend to be the queen of getting rid of things and have never regretted one thing I've ever let go of!! Best of luck at the garage sale.

For some reason the Bumblebee Tuna song works for me!

Good luck on your garage sale!

Our church has an annual sale every September. I got rid of a bunch of stuff last year. Need to get started now for this year.
