T. J. Eckleburg posted:goals: I'm pretty pleased with myself  - convince boss to let me go 100% remote so we can move together Now working remotely in the city we hoped to move to, while my husband goes to school. Check! - cut back to a 1 car household (stretch goal: go carless) Sold both our cars, no regrets, buses are kinda awesome. Transportation budget is a fraction of what it used to be, and we spend more time reading. Check! - save up to a total of 30k in liquid cash -- 10k emergency fund, 20k to pay for his education (stretch goal: 15k emergency fund) Hit 42k in savings, with 22k of that actually being needed for school, and the remaining 20k in an emergency fund. Check! - max out my 401k and 2 IRAs (stretch goal: also max our HSAs) Done! I worked on the stretch goal by making substantial contributions to our HSAs, but couldn't max them. Check! slap me silly posted:I like! Anyone who wants this and feels they deserve it, post in here with Can I have one?
