2012 Financial Goals
1) Complete 2011 Roth contributions. Used tax refund money. Deadline April 15, 2012. Complete!2) Pay off tires. Remaining balance $600. Use $300 Chase rewards and $160 tire rebate. Remaining balance out of pocket $140. Deadline March 31, 2012. Complete!
3) Contribute 7% to TSP. This is on autopilot. Yes, something easily accomplished.
4) Contribute maximum amount to our Roth IRA\'s for 2012. Preferred deadline December 31, 2012. Started monthly contributions in July, will need to make up $2,500 each in some lump sums.
5) Contribute something to college. $500 each minimum. Began monthly contributions of $167/mo for each daughter, which means we will meet our minimum for the year!
6) Save for a Free Christmas. Goal $700 or more. With rewards from debit and credit cards we are over $1000 as of 9/2012!!
7) Increase emergency fund by $3,000. Or at least end the year with the same amount we started the year with. As of Sept, I expect we will simply maintain the current EF balance, extra to go to the truck loan.
8) Pay extra to truck loan. Get the balance under $8K would be ideal! I expect to put our escrow refund towards this loan. Easy to get to goal by year end
