Hat hat HAT.
I am psyched about financial goals. :shepspends:

1) Start looking for a new job before the end of the year. Salary's sitting at $62k, hope to get a year and a half of management under my belt and then bounce.

2) Get my ITIL and P(i)MP. It's pay-to-play as usual, so I gotta pony up that cert money.

3) Max out my IRA.

4) Get as close as possible with my 457b - while also figuring out how to optimize allocations for the year (TIAA-Cref up in this).

5) Cut my eating out budget by 25% and start prepping meals ahead of time.

6) Help my parents move into a smaller house - gotta budget costs to clean, re-paint, buy and install new appliances for them, sell half their stuff, clear inspection, new agent, new sell period, find a place, :aaa:

7) Try and commit 3% of paycheck toward a vacation ...r-right?

8) Start playing around with budget programs to keep track, e.g. YNAB or Mint or something (yes, I'm stalking the BFC threads now).

I figured at 30 I'd start fresh and reasonable.
