It's almost the end of 09, and we have a net worth of 182K now. Boy have there been some setbacks this year.. A lay-off, a wedding, a new car. Even with all that, we're up over 100 LARGE in net worth this year. That is just insane.
We're also awfully close to meeting all the very ambitious 2009 goals. 84% on the down payment goal. 91% on my 200K net worth goal! That means we have one month to get the last 18K, which isn't going to happen. But, boy did we get close!
When I wrote those goals, Senor Dog was making peanuts, and I had a corporate charge card for $300 lunches. Boy, have things changed. It's amazing how much could change this year, and we still kept getting closer to the goals.
The goals are especially important to me now that we're debt free. We literally have to decide to match our money to our priorities. That's why I'm being very thoughtful about my 2010 goals.

I love that!!!
Noooo...don't categorize your wedding as a "setback"!! It's a huge step FORWARD!
Well, a wedding is certainly a FINANCIAL setback. Ours sure was!!
Because you don't censor what you're feeling when you write this blog, you do get more than the usual crapola in response. But as this post shows, you are learning and growing. And you are in SO MUCH BETTER shape than I or many others ever were at your age. Congrats.
