2016 isn't a sunk ship by any means, but my timeline for goals is more appropriately 2017, so I'm going to get them down in writing.

2016:
1) Pay off 1 credit card in full.

2017:
2) Pay off all credit cards in full.
3) Pay off private student loan.
4) Max both 403b.
5) Get to full contributions on 529.
6) Safety fund to $10,000.
7) Pass boards - get raise.
8) Don't buy new car until MBA paid in full.
9) Increase (our) net worth by $100,000.

2016:
1) Pay off 1 credit card in full. Completed. Remainder of the debt is on zero APR accounts. Zero credit card spending since I started reading BFC.

2017:
2) Pay off all credit cards in full.
3) Pay off private student loan.
4) Max both 403b.
5) Get to full contributions on 529.

Good start, man - any way you can pull ahead one or two of your '17 goals in to this year?

I could definitely pay off a second card if I cashed out the emergency fund but the EF is only at $2500 right now and the remainder cards are at 0% interest so it looks like I'm going to have to wait until the February quarterly bonus to hit another one for progress. I have managed to max MY 403b though, my wife just couldn't do it making 12 months of payments in 4 months.

My plan is 2) in May '17
3) in August '17
4) December '17
5) beginning January '17
6) June '17
7) July '17
8) June '18
9) On track for December '17

Update inline below. These last 45 days or so of 2016 are the biggest for me. With careful budgeting and a few breaks, I can come darn close to killing off my student loans with football officiating checks (approx. $4K) and income from year-end company bonus. I'm not going to force it though at the expense of the rest of my budget. If it takes until February, then that's how long it takes.

Keep up the good work dude, that's already a huge blow struck in favor of your net worth. Hopefully the macro-environment of your firm keeps your compensation robust.

November update inline. 1 month away from paying off nearly $75k student loans between me and my wife (including about half of that this year), as well as a debt free wedding. I'm super excited about becoming debt free (only to buy a house and start it all over again soon...).

Congratulations on the hard work getting your student loans paid down!!!

I am loving JAZZED to put up some 2017 goals, because I think some exciting stuff is coming. Who is going to make the thread? It's that time!
