2012 financial goals September status

September 17th, 2012 at 09:52 pm

1) Max ROTH me DONE
2) Max ROTH DH (money is there, we just did not put it in yet - not sure where to put it)
3) Max ESA (have the money, but have not opened the account yet -- Place where I have LOs ESA currently no longer accepts new contributions)

4) Get retirement accounts to 200K DONE
(balance 205K as of today).

5) Get EF to 60K DONE! (balance of today 68K)

Both of those are invested aggressively, so it can go down some, we need to contribute more to make sure we keep investing when market dips, so we don't dip below those markers

2012 Lifestyle goals:

Catch up on vacations: DONE

9 days Vail, Colorado ski vacation
8 days Florida (4 Disney)
5 days Savannah/Hilton Head/Atlanta
6 days Japan
25 days China (partial vacation, I had to be in class 4 hours a day)
few occasional 1-2 night hotel getaways

Home improvement:

New nice big screen TV DONE
50 inch 3D Samsung

Custom window shades / still to do

Custom closet -
I want to, but I'm scared. Both of the process of picking out exactly what I want once and for all times and the cost, and of finding the right contractor

My 2013 goal
Remodel kitchen -- see the above x10! I am too chicken for that experience.

    Some of the custom closet projects are DIY if you have patience, measure twice and count how many hangers you need fr upper garments, lower garments & dresses/coats. Have a look on-line at the Rubbermaid closet configurations to see if that meets your needs. Every foot of rod holds 12 hangers.

    Remodeling a kitchen is so scary. Have you identified what's wrong with your kitchen? Will you need to move electrics & plumbing? Is it more modernize with new cupboards, counter tops & appliances? Have you talked to professionals who operate the Kitchen Plan franchises?
