Default Re: Goals for 2006

Ok, I've got some firmer numbers.

$4000 for my trip to Greece, this is airfare and spending money.
$4000 for my Roth IRA
additional +3% to my 401k
Just for kicks, another $4000 to savings.

Right now I save $100 per month in my ING savings account. I am going to change my biweekly deduction from $50 to $75. Each month on the 1st, I'm going to buy one $100 cd.


You can buy a cd for $100.00 monthly from ING? I was trying to access their website but it is having problems at this time.

I am taking baby steps to wealth at this time LOL. My goals are:

No debt except mortgage by December, 2006.
Add an extra $50.00 a month to Tiaa-Cref Money Market Account and Michigan First Credit Union. Just started an account with HSBC so I will be putting $50.00 a month there too.
Giving to charities more than to family members.
Hubby retiring in May so I must take a course on HOW TO COPE WITH A HUSBAND AT HOME!!! LOL Joking! or am I?

Happy New Year 2006 everyone and I pray all of our goals for this year come true.
