    Default had my quarterly meeting with my Financial Advisor

    And I'm ahead of schedule. Although a week or so ago, I was a bit bummed after actually doing the math and seeing for real how much money I spend in one year on necessities, I am further along with my cash savings than my FA projected. So Yeah for me!

    I received my raise and I'm going to be putting most of it directly into savings. Projecting out the pay periods for the rest of the year, I will be at a number with my EF that I'm comfortable with by end of 2011.

    Now that I've done the math and projected everything out I have a solid goal to go for where before I was just guessing.

    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
