February Goals Update

Nehal : Mar 2, 2009

  • Financial
    • Earn $5K from sources outside my primary income
      • Not much yet
    • Give more to charity this year than I did last year
      • On track
    • Finish building and maintain a 6-month emergency fund
      • Been doing some extra spending lately. Hopefully this will settle down. Plus I think I need to extend this to a 12-month cushion in this economy.
    • Save $10K for our 2010 trip to Africa
      • Getting there
    • Limit spending on dining out
      • Could have been better, but coming down slowly
