2012 Financial Goals
Regular readers will know that I strongly believe that specific, measurable goals are a key to financial success. I also believe that writing your goals down and tracking your progress is a key to achieving what you want.Our 2011 goals mainly focused around paying off debt. In 2012, we changed course and started focusing more on saving.
- Finish 2011 goal of saving for $15,000 Emergency Fund - FINISHED!!
- Reach $17,000 maximum 401(k) contributions by end of year (both Mike & Sarah) - FINISHED!!
- Additional savings for....future life events? Debt payoff? (not really sure yet and the vagueness of this goal really bothers me)
- Remaining debt - only minimum payments right now. Payoff on hold this year while we save (this bothers me too, especially after last year's massive debt payoff)
