Did you max out your Roth contribution for 2005? You still have a few months to max it out.

Grats on the low expenses and the diligent savings plan.
Well, I'll take the grats on the savings plan (thats all me) but the low expenses (while a part of my being diligent about staying away from LTC's such as a car payment etc.) has more to do with my parents.

Also, the EF goal of 10k (although ~7200 would be fine) is based on when I move out in April (or so) of next year. I've scouted apartments, found the average electrical costs with those apartments from the electric company, bought my own food for three months to come up with a reliable amount, and had about 50 people who rent in the area give me their expenses to come up with that number. I can't live at home forever.
