Link to 2019 thread Post your 2020iest goals u got. Big goals, little goals, non-financial goals, whatever. Humblebragging about achieving your goals is encouraged. Please post your goals even if you think they are excessively modest. I am worried that threads have recently turned in to high earners just making big goals and intimidating others.  New for 2020:  - 401(k) limits increase, make sure you adjust accordingly if you desireKGJr goals: 2020 Financial: Max 401k Max IRA Max wife IRA Wife get new job Move to new city Rebudget at that point and make some new goals - for now i'm going to put non-retirement savings goals on hold since i don't know what is reasonable 2020 Nonfinancial: Ski more than value of season pass ($700) Exercise 3x/week

maybe not the place for it but i think with kids you have to take a long hard look at what defines "success" and "failure" i mean if failure is yelling/being abusive/whatever yes, that is bad, but if it's just "i am not connecting as well with this kid as the others" that's not really a failure per se

my cash position is pretty big but that is because i am currently the sole income earner for my household so i am carrying 12 mos expenses rather than six it's probably excessively paranoid but it makes me feel better and it's in HYSA so i don't really care about min/maxing that money

I think it might be helpful for you to measure how you blew your takeout/delivery goal, since that could help you prevent doing the same in the future. If you don't look in to it, it's hard to change behavior. for instance, how bad did you blow the goal? which weeks were bad? did you blow it every week or did you have on really bad week that caused you to miss? what kinds of stuff are you ordering? when are you ordering (weekends, weeknights, etc)? are there other correlations to other life events that have driven it (eg stressed at work, working late, etc)? that's my 2 cents!

hot cocoa on the couch posted:Didn't really do an April update on May 1 because I was crazy busy with school and had no idea what was going to happen moneywise. I'll do an early May update instead of both April + May because everything just fell into place the last few days. make sure that the consumer loan doesn't balloon interest. lots of "pay no interest until Date X" will suddenly charge you interest covering all time periods through Date X when Date X rolls around.

paid off!!!
. Next years goal will be to pay down the student loan as aggressively as possible (maybe entirely?) and then think about going back for another 2 years to obtain my degree. It all depends on what field of engineering I go into really.

be very, very careful that you do not forget

Original goals 2020 Financial: Max 401k - yup, got about $13.5k in matching money too so this was success Max IRA - success Max wife IRA - wife did not get new job so did not have any taxable income, but we did put $8k in taxable instead Wife get new job no sad  Move to new city lol no New goals post covid: 1a) Don't die success 1b) wife don't die either success 1c) don' t kill each other success 2) Keep Job Success. success kept job, no raises or bonuses but we did get our deferred salary paid back. didn't lay anyone off despite being down ~40% in rev YoY. 3) Go outside every day not success but getting most days at least 4) Do some inside non-screen hobby every day not Success very much not success unless we count exercise and household chores. 5) Run 3-4x week success, getting 3-4 days week of exercise although a lot more indoor exercise 6) wife graduate and not go insane success although hard right now as job search is very frustrating... she is doing good and i am proud of her perseverance and spirit! at one point we had a NW goal and I haven't really been tracking against that, but we be crushin up like 200k over prior year, which would feel good if it wasn't a reflection of the horrible inequality of the us economy!!! new goals for 2021 will be interesting.
