Nice way to prepare for your retirement. My husband and I had a good chunk of our retirement dissipate due to some hefty medical bills, but we’re back on our road to recovery and should be in good shape soon. Thanks for sharing your financial info and it is encouraging to some.

It’s really helpful if we have a table for our finances.

Thanks for this post. I found it very helpful as we (my husband and I) have had the goal of a true emergency savings fund for years now. We were able to sock away thousands of dollars for the wedding, but once that huge goal was met, we can’t seem to keep more than $400 in the savings account. So once again, this year we are trying to achieve the goal of having a $1,000 emergency savings fund that we don’t dip into every month or two.

Great job. It takes a lot to share your finances on the open.

Stefan: I should elaborate that I am in both weddings, as a bridesmaid/groomswoman. The brides from weddings pick the dress colors. One picked bright pink, the other picked light blue. So no, I can’t wear the same dress at all. And in one case, all of the girls will have the exact same dress, but in the other wedding, we get to pick our own dress as long as it is the right color and length. Weddings are complicated!

Pretty awesome,

Can’t you just wear your dress from your brothers’ wedding again at the other one? Or are there too many similiar people?

Great that you got a better job. Great that you’re funding retirement. I’d like you to get that emergency fund to 1000 before throwing big chunks into retirement. My opinion. Good post.

Thanks for your honesty and openness in sharing with others your financial goals and how you are reaching them. Slowly but surely is the key to financial success and I think many people need to see others doing the same thing in order to be motivated.

thanks for the post.
