if you take the monthly note, after paid off, and put it in 1, 4 or any other investment vehicle. Pun intended.

If you afford the note, you can afford to save/invest the note.

1. Get to big number milestone in investment account.
2. Continue to invest 40% net income
3. Continue to save for potential move. Meet saving goal by end of next year.
4. Increase work productivity by 20%. Be more deliberate.
5. Keep cash reserves in check.
6. Cut monthly spending by 20% (less eating out, less spontaneous purchases, more delayed gratification).

Rental properties are all filled up so cash flow is nice right now. Not looking forward to taxes coming up though

Overall everything is on track.

2023 financial goals
1) make more money than 2022 (sales)
2) net worth over $1.25M (~20%growth)
3) get closer to maxing out all tax advantaged opportunities. I have college students now and it is more difficult than prior years.


1) I had 2021 bonuses paid out in Jan 2022 that are not offered this year.
So I'm already down 23% on year over year comp.

2)I'm up 2.72%. Ahead of pace on net worth.

3) I've gotten through the first year expense for my oldest in college and have recalibrated my retirement savings. Assuming no financial emergencies, I should max out retirement and will see if I can max HSA as well.

We've got tickets for the family for Bob Weir at symphony hall and tickets for the shaky knees festival in atlanta. We are looking to navigate a few more family concerts as well.

Stop blowing 10k a month. Once I figure that out I can probably focus on financial goals.

Just saw this thread and figured I'd add mine goals

1) Continue maxing out all retirement accounts
2) Pay off car debts (1 scheduled to be paid in summer, other will require $5k payment at year-end) to free cash flow
3) Accumulate a shite-ton of debt. Hoping to buyout the owner of my current company in Q3 through SBA loan and owner finance

Fingers cross that the start up I invested in has only minor hiccups when it goes live

1) I finished 2.5% short. When the goal is to be over (not match) that sucks.

2) I finished at 19% growth. I'm comfortable with the long term plan.

3) I moved dormant funds to better producing options. I pretty much maxed my 401k. 50% of HSA. Have my wife maxing her 401k match and maxing her IRA. This is good improvement year over year.

The family had a great ski trip in January.
We saw Bob Weir and the the wolf Bros play with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Took the family to Shaky Knees festival.
Went to Savannah on a motorcycle trip with my FIL and oldest son. Trekked down to Albany GA for the state track and field finals with my youngest daughter and FIL. Flew to Dallas with my youngest son and FIL for the world robotics competition. Took my dad and family to a hockey double-header (UGA vs GT and Gladiators vs Stingrays) with seats on the glass. All 4 of my kids (ages 19-15) went to a concert in Nashville without us old folks. Took a half dozen camping trips and another half dozen hikes.
Despite the work struggles, I couldn't be happier with how the year went.

Might still be a good time to buy even if prices don't drop. You have to consider the rent you can charge and other factors. Your net income and long term appreciation are more important than home prices.
