It's hard to say that it's wrong that my life revolves around my dog when she is cuter and more interesting than me
Pillbug
Goals for 2016:

Financial:
1. Max out 401k.
2. Max out Roth IRA in the next week.
3. Maintain 0 balance on credit cards
4. Increase emergency fund by $2,500, just in case.
5. Purchase around $17,000 worth of my vested employee stock options, using at least $10,000 from money saved this year, with the remainder coming from previous years’ savings.
6. Move the remainder of my investments away from a managed brokerage account that I had when I didn’t know better. I’ve done this for the most part, but I need to finish it off. Also move some existing non-managed investments to lower-cost funds.
7. Keep non-investment expenses at <50% of take-home salary.

Non-financial:
1. Move out of my current house. It’s cheap but it’s super messy and has accumulated a ton of crap from previous residents, which means that none of us are particularly motivated to clean.
2. Try to move to a more interesting location, likely either San Francisco (close) or New York (far).
3. Make sure that my current position is one I desire for the long term, figuring out what I want from my career.
4. Take a nice trip! I don’t take enough vacations.
5. Lose 8-10 pounds.
6. Read all of a list of books I’ve found related to my profession.

Do you mean buy stock? I don't really think anyone at home investing should be purchasing options. Maybe I misunderstand?

Is this addressed to me? I meant exercising some vested employee stock options from a few years ago.

2. Try to move to a more interesting location, likely either San Francisco (close) or New York (far). Done
3. Make sure that my current position is one I desire for the long term, figuring out what I want from my career. Sort of. I definitely know more now and I'm trying a new opportunity at work.

5. Lose 8-10 pounds.Down 13-15 now, but still plan on losing more.
