how disgusting
Hi everyone, I'm jumping on the bandwagon.

My goals for 2016 were way more aggressive than my 2017 goals. I wanted to save a butt ton, and came reasonably close through a combination of 401k contributions and investing through my Vanguard account. But my priorities shifted midway through the year and I ended up wanting to beef up my emergency cash reserves, so I started dumping most of my non-retirement savings into an Ally savings account. I essentially hit my numbers goal but not my new mid-year cash savings goal.

2017 financial goals:
* Max out my 401k.
* Contribute to savings until my net worth is 9% cash (currently 6.4%).
* Hit the 9% cash goal by mid-year, then switch back to buying Vanguard funds.
* Chill out on saving a little. I was too aggressive in 2016 and my hobbies and interests languished as a result.

2017 life goals:
* Learn some hard piano pieces.
* Write some music and learn music theory. I just turned 30 loving 1 and I've been interested in it for too long and I'm not getting any younger dammit
* Exercise, eat better, stick to a mostly vegetarian diet for a year
