My gift to you goons is this thread. Merry Christmas!

I hope we can enjoy some civilized discussion regarding BFC-related topics and avoid the trolling, name-calling, and meltdowns that consumed the previous thread.

Where did we leave off? Let's open this baby up.

Threads1-3 I struggled mightily with the concept of sound financial and overall life decisions.
Thread4 was a major success, I'm sure all will agree.
Thread5 is here to ensure that success continues and to provide joyful camaraderie for all goons.

He's still got 6 days - he'll start saving Monday and meet or exceed the goal before the deadline I'm sure. Not so sure I'd toxx on it - I'm not an idiot.

Apparently I'm not very good at setting goals. I can't find the math notes that came up with 88k. As of today, Christmas, I have $109,255 combined in savings, emergency fund, 401k, IRA, and mutual funds. Dashboard will be updated 12/31:

I will ask for some help with setting the June 2020 goal and 1/1/2021 goal from people who can do math.

Oh, I know math. The mighty math suggest that for June, you set as goal: taze you are ballz, and for January 2021: double down and really go to town with tazing - maybe wonderhangers somehow.

So, who is winning the zaurg/Knyteguy budget-off? Obviously neither of the participants, but with two losers of that caliber there must be some winners to balance it out.
