save for retirement

We have set a goal of July for our appt with a Financial Planner. By then, we hope to have our emergency fund fully funded and be able to concentrate on long term goals.

Hopefully, we will be able to max out IRA contributions for 2007—I don’t think it is realistic to expect that this year, as we won’t be starting until midsummer.

So, I have an IRA that I opened years ago, but I haven’t put much in beyond the first few months. Along with my “saving more” I am going to make sure that I contribute at least $2500 per year. Shoot, with eating out less, I am still $100 ahead of the game each year!
