Goals: 1. Raise my net worth to $70k. (Currently @ $55k.) It will be a bit of a stretch, but that's the point! 2. Pay off $5.4k of my car loan, which has $6.6k remaining. 3. Do something vacation-y this summer without taking on debt. I haven't been on a vacation in 4 years and I need one desperately! 4. Pay for my last semester of grad school in cash. $3k. 5. No credit card debt. 6. Stretch Goal: Start saving for a house. A nominal amount, say $1500, just to get my morale going while I finish paying off the car. (Edited to make 2 tougher and added goal 6.) spinst fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Dec 26, 2015 |

Progress: 1. Raise my net worth to $70k. (Currently @ $55k.) It will be a bit of a stretch, but that's the point! $59.5k. Will see a big drop next month when I pay for tuition! Part of the plan. 2. Pay off $5.4k of my car loan, which has $6.6k remaining. $1380/$5400. Threw a lot of money at it the last two months. Looking like a payoff date of February 2017, which will be 22 months early. 3. Do something vacation-y this summer without taking on debt. I haven't been on a vacation in 4 years and I need one desperately! $1k in the vacay fund.  5. No credit card debt. On track. 6. Stretch Goal: Start saving for a house. A nominal amount, say $1500, just to get my morale going while I finish paying off the car. $100/$1500. My (5 year old) laptop is starting to act interesting, so this money may get rerouted if it completely craps out. spinst fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Feb 27, 2016 |

End of Quarter 1 Progress: 1. Raise my net worth from $55k to $70k. $58k. Drop due to tuition paid in cash! I never thought I'd be able to pay for tuition in cash. Amazing! 2. Pay off $5.4k of my car loan, which has $6.6k remaining. $1780/$5400. Aw yeah. 3. Do something vacation-y this summer without taking on debt. I haven't been on a vacation in 4 years and I need one desperately! $1.6k in the vacay fund. 5. No credit card debt. On track. 6. Stretch Goal: Start saving for a house. A nominal amount, say $1500, just to get my morale going while I finish paying off the car. $535/$1500. Likely becoming a laptop fund. Battery is shot and graphics card is going! Since I'm killing the goal right now, I may be able to pay for the laptop and still hit this goal.  Killin' it.

Goals: 1. Raise my net worth from $55k to $70k. $63.5k. Slow going, for now. 2. Pay off $5.4k of my car loan, which has $6.6k remaining. $3450/$5400. Doing well! 5. No credit card debt. On track. 6. Stretch Goal: Start saving for a house. A nominal amount, say $1500, just to get my morale going while I finish paying off the car. $1400/$1500. Aw yeah. This upcoming week I will finish my Masters degree, which will bump my pay by $3600/yr. And my new position that starts in September includes a 9% raise. With all that I will net roughly ~600 more per month. These goals will get set on fire the last few months of 2016!
