When I originally set my $100,000 by age 30 goal I needed to sort of cheat and I made the goal to have $100,000 in principal (money I contributed) in my retirement accounts by Dec 31 of the year in which I turn 30. My birthday is in August and well according to my original calculations I would need at least those extra 4 months to reach my goal.

Well 2006 is coming to a close and I figured I would check in on how I am progressing on my goal to have $100,000 in principal (solely my contributions) contributed to my various retirement plans. Here is my contribution table my initial planning post on reaching $100k by 30.

Well it’s been a while since I set my goal of having $100,000 in principal put away for retirement by Dec 31 of the year I turn 30 in and well I figured I should check up on my progress and make sure I am on track.

As you may know I decided earlier this month to set a goal for myself to save $100,000 in principal by the time I am 30. This is a pretty ambitious goal seeing as I have less than 4 years before the goal is suppose to be met and am not even a third of the way there.

Well you might have noticed I put a little progress bar on the right hand side of my blog to track my goal of having $100,000 put away in retirement accounts by the time I reach age 30. Well by putting that stupid little chart over on the side of my blog really got me to thinking about this goal, more as in - can I actually achieve that goal. Up till this point I just thought it would be a nice goal to achieve but by having it staring me in the face every time I look at my blog it makes me wonder if I’m going to make a fool out of myself by trying to achieve what appears to be a lofty goal.

Well I have been thinking a lot about some of the financial goals for myself and I think I will just list them all here and decide which one’s to fine tune and set for myself on this blog.
Accumulate $100,000 in retirement savings by the time I am 30 years old
I like this goal because one it is a nice BIG round number that would give me a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Well I suppose seeing as how the title of this blog is “My Financial Goals” - I suppose I should actually talk about what my goals are. Now despite the blog title I really have not been a big proponent of setting goals for myself. I know I subconsciously have ideas of what I would like to accomplish in my life, I have never before actually defined a goal and written it down somewhere. In the past I have always been pretty good about accomplishing my secret subconscious “goals”, but who knows maybe I just forgot about the goals I had failed to attain. So at this point in time I am going to dig into my subconsciousness and put some of these goals I have for myself out on paper…err well electronic storage. (more…)
