1. Put a minimum of $11,000 to retirement. ($6,000 to Roth and $5,000 to taxable). I am loving the increase in contributions to the Roth. It's $6,000 this year, in case you have not heard! The $11,000 goal is an increase of $500 from last year.
ON TRACK!!! I have contributed $5,193 to retirement this year. Only $5,807 left to go. While I am a little further behind than I would like I am happy to have contributed as much as I have. This has been an expensive year!! I plan to max out my Roth next month.
2. Increase replacement car fund to $12,000.
This is at $11,549!! I am almost at my goal. I may scale the amount I contribute after I reach $12,000, but I will keep contributing.
3. Give a minimum of $400 to charity. This is an increase of $100 from last year.
I have donated $278 so far this year!! Over half way done.
4. Increase Emergency Fund to $20,000.
I have not contributed anything to my EF fund. This remains at $17,916.
5. Pay down mortgage principal so that the PMI can be removed. I'm so close, only 5 or 6 months to go!
DONE!! My PMI has dropped off. I was paying $115 a month for PMI. My monthly mortgage payment has dropped to $1,377.
6. Read 12 books
I complete 4 books so far this year. I need to increase this.
7. Lose 20lbs
I have lost 10lbs!!
8. Increase social activities
I have made a half hearted attempt to do this. I need to do better.
9. Learn coding.
I have done nothing to effectuate this goal.
10. Learn more about my family history.
I have done nothing to effectuate this goal.
11. Meditate.
I fell off doing this early in the year.
12. Be kinder and more patient.
I have been trying to be kinder. I need to re-up the patient efforts.
13. Increase FI/FU fund to $1,200.
I have added to this and I am at $499 so far.
14. Figure out my purpose in life.
I have done nothing to effectuate this goal.
that's a helluva year so far. we just replaced a car this week so having that money saved would have been nice. we "borrowed" it from future travel funds so we didn't have to sell any investments or take a loan. rock on.

I think you’re doing a great job on your list!
