Getting Out of Debt: The Bucket List Goal to Make All Other Goals Possible

This post was previously published on the BucketList.org blog in September 2014.

I’ve been racking up debt since college. A few years after graduation, I had over $42,000 of it, from student loans, a new car and the day-to-day reliance on credit. Over 1,500 BucketList.org users have “getting out of debt” as a goal, so we are not a small tribe.

Sitting on Top of Mountains

In this week of posts celebrating the Green Mountain Club’s 100th Birthday, I thought I would get off of the promotional soapbox and just talk about hiking, one of my favorite things to do.

Green Mountain Club’s 100th Birthday!

To celebrate the Green Mountain Club’s 100th birthday, I’ll be posting five days of GMC news this week.

The Green Mountain Club was founded 100 years ago this week by a group of men (women quickly joined and attained active roles in both the front- and back-country) who gathered in Burlington, Vermont to sign a charter. They promptly began bushwacking their way along the spine of the Green Mountains.
