It's comforting to see that you met some goals and not all. That really shows that your goals were a stretch. It's not enought to set safe goals. thanks for sharing this update Great job.

But I am curious about how that works. Do you know how much of it will get taxed? Congratulations on meeting the big goal! 100k in additional income is awesome, regardless of the tax bill.

It is part of my 2009 goals to be completely debt free except for the mortgage also. Investments, well, i do not believe anyone hit their goals this year unless you are madoff.

My goals were similarly mixed, got the debt paid off but my investment goals were a miss. I went out on a limb for my 2009 goals, double my net worth. As long as the market doesn't go much lower I should make it. I wish you success in the coming year! You still did quite well considering the terrible stock market.

We were concerned about our website income and decided that a SEP IRA didn't allow us to contribute as much as we'd like to decrease our taxable income. We signed up for one with Fidelity. The process was pretty simple and they have good investments. Regarding your website income, have you thought about a solo 401(k)?
