1st quarter update:
-contributing 458.33 a month to my Roth IRA
-set up direct deposit to save $250 from each paycheck for my wedding/honeymoon
-hit 10k in my emergency fund

Sadly I fell out of using YNAB and need to get back on track. The rest are still being worked out.

Still on track for maxing my Roth for 2015. I did use my bonus from Q1 to max my 2014 Roth as well so this will be back to back years for me. I just wish I could get my fiancé to do the same.

Everything else will be done by December.

On the job front I've had loads of interviews but no offers. My current job may be paying for me to get my CFP which will increase my salary and future job prospects once completed.

I might even have my student loans paid off this year depending on how a few things shake out.

1. Roth IRA will be maxed in December with my last 458.33 contribution. I added enough money last week so that my January contributions will start funding my 2016 Roth IRA.

2. I'm at a little bit over 50k now. I am on pace for 100k much faster than I would have anticipated a year ago in just my retirement accounts. Goal #3 being completed is really helping me out.

3. I actually paid off my student loans this year but I can't take credit for it since it came from an inheritance.

4. I am still saving $500 a month towards the wedding for next August and my fiance's parents are paying for most of it.

5. This is probably not happening this year. I am not living paycheck to paycheck by any means but my budget is much looser and kept mentally than I'd like it to be.

6. Was completed awhile ago

Still working on my non-financial goals but overall 5 out of 6 is pretty good I'd say.
