Using my Leet Analysis Skills (tee hee) from Business Analysis, and looking at the Future Me picture: I get the following Goals, working from top to bottom:

1. Savings Goal - Amount of money required to be able to visit Dustbunnie and Annefia, that allows for 8 weeks of rent, cattery, and overseas expenses.
