Save money for a car.
I'm gonna mark this one as "completed".... 2 years ago

....considering that I bought a new Honda Accord in December 2006. Man, what an amazing hunk of car for such a reasonable amount of money (about $20K). Great quality, good features, reliable, and terrific gas mileage. And all this on 4 cyclinders!

Increase the 401(k) contribution from my paycheck (read all 2 entries…)
continuing to upgrade... 2 years ago

My pre-tax contribution is up to 7% now. 3% is matched dollar-for-dollar by my employer, and another 3% is matched 50 cents on the dollar. Not bad. That, combined with (A) the power of compounding and (B) some shrewd asset allocations, and my balance has zoomed up in a very short time. Hurrah!

Ride a horse down into the Teton Valley like Alan Ladd did in 'Shane' (read all 2 entries…)
2008, perhaps? 2 years ago

2007 is not looking good for this trip. But I’m planning for 2008! September is supposed to be an ideal time for it: the summer crowds have gone, and winter has not quite yet arrived.
