Stretch net worth goal: increase by 75k. My investment goal: keep asset allocation balanced. Maintain 70% equities to 30% bonds/cash unless we get a significant correction. Then, go to 80% equities and 20% bonds/cash. Otherwise, invest all cash over 30% at the end of each month at Zecco.com. Roth: funded by 1/5/07. 401k: 20% of income per week up to max of $15,500. Quit obsessing over net worth! Check in only once per month (this might be too tough to stick to). Budget: get restaurant/movie spending down as much as possible without seriously bumming out the boyfriend. Have more dinner parties at home. Exercise: get back into workout routine with boyfriend: 40 minutes 2 times per week plus 1 hour hikes each Sat and Sun. Work: get head and heart back into it, since I want to be here at least another 1.5 years. Travel: Hawaii, road trip up to Big Sur, San Fran, & Napa, Costa Rica OR friend's wedding in NY if invited. Enjoy trips without going nuts. My net worth goal: increase by 60k. Stretch net worth goal: increase by 75k.
