Hard to believe we are half way through another year. As far as our progress towards our goals we are doing really well. We have already achieved goal #5. We are right on pace for goals #3 and #4. We will probably be able to reduce our 401k contributions soon, which will hopefully free up some more money so that we can try to catch up on goal #2 in the second part of the year.
2017 Goals Update Goal #1 Max out our 401k ($18,000).
We are well on our way towards maxing out our 401k account. At the end of June we have
contributed $12,549. This puts us at 69.7% of our goal which is well ahead of the game!
Goal #2 Invest $250 a week for a total of $13,000 for the year.
We have saved $4,633 in our investment account so far this year. This puts us at 35.6% of
our goal. We have began to fall behind on our savings goal. Hopefully can catch up in the
second half of the year.
Goal #3 Saving $200 a month for purchasing an automobile.
We have put back $200 each month for a total of $1,200 this year. We went ahead a traded
for a new vehicle. The old pickup was starting to become a money pit. We will continue to
add $200 towards the payment.
Goal #4 Saving $400 a month for home repairs.
We were able to replace our furnace and A/C units. We will continue saving towards the next project. (It never ends!)
Goal #5Save $3,600 to take a two week vacation to California.
We have saved the entire $3,600 for our big vacation. Super Excited!
We will continue to push towards our goals for the year and take another look at the end of the third quarter.
