We're really trying to focus on meeting our goals. It's amazing how consistent you've been with savings. I appreciate the encouragement by example. Hope your year end bonus goes well. :) Thanks!

AWESOME! It must feel so good to cross things off the to do list. Without goals/lists, it's hard to focus. I've had a very consistent goal for the past 10 years, and that is to always save my bonus and spend only 85% of my base i.e. save 15% of my base. In my business, often times 30-70% of our entire compensation comes in the form of a year end bonus, so perhaps I will save 45%-85% of my entire compensation? I donno. All I know is thank goodness this year is better than the 2nd half of last year! Best, FS Great job on your 2009 financial goals progress! AWESOME!
