What’s Your Financial Goal for This Week?

It’s Monday, which means it’s time to set some financial goals.

This week, my goal—if you can call it that—is to transfer my everyday spending from my bank debit card to my new Alaska Visa Signature credit card. I need to spend $1,000 in three months to get that 30,000 mile bonus, which means I should be putting roughly $333 per month on the card and paying it off in full.

This shouldn’t be that big of a deal; I could put the next three months of grocery shopping on the card and have the bonus pretty much taken care of. But paying with my debit card is a habit, so I’ll need to put in just a little bit of effort to make the switch.

What about you?
