2008 Goal Update

February was an incredible month. As I mentioned earlier in the month, we became DEBT-FREE in February. We also saved toward our next goal to celebrate becoming debt-free, so that we can begin on our savings goals in March.

  1. Become debt-free (except house) - Met in February
  2. Celebrate becoming debt-free - On track for March
  3. Emergency fund with 4 months of expenses - On track to start in March
  4. Increase retirement savings to 10% of gross income - At 7% plus company match
  5. Increase college savings - No update
  6. Start a new house fund - No update
  7. Earn $5,000 outside of my day job - Still in the red here, but having fun

I hope you have had success this year with your goals. If not, you’ve still got 10 months to turn it around, so don’t give up.
