Pay off student loan - 29.4% (Up .9%)
Roth 2013 - 72.3% (Up 7.5%)
Windows - 9.6% (Up .7%)
I did a couple of things in the past two months to impact my financial situation. I bought a new vehicle so I now have a loan on that. It did not make my financial goal list. Obviously I intend to pay it off, but I got a superb rate on a 6 year loan (1.9%) so at this point it is at the bottom of my pile in terms of goals.
I also started my master's degree. I'm taking advantage of my employer's reimbursement but it means I have to raid the money from my savings account, finish out the course, then wait for reimbursement. So my savings will keep taking a temporary hit but I won't be putting that on the list either. Other incidentals like books and such will have to be cash flowed.
Other than that, I am slipping behind on my Roth contributions. I have been rather spendy lately. I'm working on reeling it in. If I haven't gotten where I need to by tax refund time, I'll fill it in that way. But I'm really hoping to use the tax refund for windows since that goal is going nowhere :) I'm also hoping with more of my free time being committed long term, I have less time to be spendy..lol. We'll see how that pans out.
Next up, vacation. The second this year. I enjoy traveling and the opportunity doesn't come up much so I feel compelled to make use of opportunities when they arise. Thankfully this month is a three paycheck month so hopefully I can skim off of that and cover it swiftly.
