To-Do List
Though my actual to-do list contains an overwhelming number of items, I’m going to keep this as simple and high-level as I can so it makes sense at a quick glance. For the most part I’ll be keeping this up to date and mark things off as they’re completed. Every once in awhile I’ll clean out the marked off items so the list will stay somewhat fresh. Also, I’m going to keep this list related to this site, or related to my efforts in getting out of debt so you’re not bored from my having to mow the grass or go to the dentist, etc.
