At the beginning of the year I committed to several money-related resolutions and promised to track my progress on Free Money Finance. So far, I've posted updates at the end of the following months:
This is my update for the month ending September 2006.
First, here's a list of the completed resolutions so far this year:
- Investment Review
- Earn Extra Income
- Complete Taxes
- Budgeting
- Retirement Number
- Get Spouse Up-to-Date on Finances
- Insurance Inventory
Here are the ones I'm still working on/made progress on this month:
- Net Worth -- The S&P 500 was up 2.46% in September, another healthy gain. I was up almost as much as my net worth went up 2.08% for the month. I'm now up 9.57% for the year and on track to be up 13.2% this year.
- Giving -- We continued our giving to several projects this month per our budget.
- Fully Fund 401k -- It happens automatically every month!
- Sort Out College Savings -- No progress made in this area this month.
- Update Will -- No progress made in this area this month.
- Credit Check-ups -- Completed. I ordered my free credit report and all is well.
- Blog Goals -- September was almost as good as August (my best month yet). As such, I'm still on track to hit my mid- to high-level numbers.
I'll be reporting on my status with these at the end of every month, so stay tuned to see how I do.
