Here is my wrap up:
2019 Financial goals:
2019 Personal goals:
2019 Financial goals:
- Save $6,000 towards our emergency fund - Done.
- Max out my Roth IRA (and maybe open a Roth IRA for DH) - Maxed out my Roth IRA, but didn't open one for DH yet. Probably won't happen next year either, but I will max out my Roth again for next year.
- Pay $1000 (or more) each month towards the HELOC - We pretty much stuck to $1k per month, though there were months were I used some of this money directly towards basement expenses. But since that was all going to the same place, I count it.
- Save $2400 in DDs 529 account - We contributed $2400 to DD's account. My parents also contributed another $500 for birthday and Hanukkah gifts. And she should get a $50 bonus that will post next month because of a special offer that the 529 program was running.
- Pay as much as possible towards our trailer loan, currently at $13,600 - We paid a lot towards the trailer loan during the first half of the year, knocking it below $10k, but then we purchased a DVC contract and our extra money has been going toward that expense instead. We are currently making the minimum payments on the loan. The loan is now down to $9500, so a difference of $4100.
2019 Personal goals:
- Make more time for my hobbies - The basement remodel took longer than expected and so I still haven't gotten my sewing room set up yet.
- Keep a regular exercise routine - Nope, total fail.
- Declutter the house - Also mostly a fail, though I have started setting things aside for a large garage sale in the spring at my mom's house.
