I'm quitting my job that I've outgrown for a GWL 6 month travel opportunity.

2017 Goals
* Return to Colorado after travelling and find a good and affordable shared house to live in
* Get new IT job paying at least 65K + benefits that is interesting and challenging with room to grow
* Get back into rock climbing after 6+ months off, return to old level of skill by years end for future growth in 2018

I did all these things

* I am back in CO, living in the same shared house that I moved out of back in March. Rent is incrementally more expensive, since we went from a 4-way split to a 3-way split, but still eminently affordable
* I got a ~30% raise to be the #1 IT guy at a new business and will be taking on management responsibilities as the business grows
* I am climbing again more or less at my old skill level.

I win!

Stretch goal: Fully funded 2017 and 2018 IRA by January 1, 2018. Can I come up with $11K in 6 weeks?
