My saving...You've still made a great progress. My savings rate is more a function of making a lot of money. Especially when I hit over 75%. I'm not complaining but there's not a whole lot more that I can realistically cut from my expenses. Most of the fat that's left comes with the job that I have. <br /><br />My debt payoff is one of the goals that I'm most proud of because I was originally thinking it was going to be August/September before it got paid off but I was fortunate enough to get rid of it in May. <br /><br />I just wish the markets were at levels from a few years ago because I would be so much further ahead if I could be investing the money I have now back then. But another pullback will come it's just not like shooting fish in a barrel as it was then. I'm sitting on way too much cash in my FI account and I'm getting anxious to start deploying it. Hopefully we get some early disappointing earnings numbers that push the markets back down. We'll see how today goes since earnings season starts today. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-69691027103758540142012-10-09T07:31:29.785-05:002012-10-09T07:31:29.785-05:00I still need to get a personal interest free loan ...I still need to get a personal interest free loan paid off but all my debt that had interest is gone which is great. I've made even more progress than I thought I would this far in 2012. Now I'll have a much better idea of my goal setting for 2013 since I'll have a full year in the books. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-66408361367056847552012-10-07T13:23:00.366-05:002012-10-07T13:23:00.366-05:00Wow, great job on the goals!
Your savings rate is...Wow, great job on the goals!<br /><br />Your savings rate is especially impressive. I find it incredibly difficult to get up to the 70% savings rate month after month. There are certainly many months a year I achieve a rate that high, and that's usually when my income is up considerably, but it's very difficult for me to average a rate that high over an entire year. My goal for this year was to average a 65% net income savings rate, but I'm probably going to hit somewhere around 60%. Great job on this front!<br /><br />Your food expenses are also very impressive. <br /><br />Don't worry about hitting the investment goals right now. You're doing a great job saving and paying off your debt, and the investing results will now start to come in spades. <br /><br />Best wishes!Dividend Mantrahttp://www.dividendmantra.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-67305455083899213842012-10-07T12:11:39.404-05:002012-10-07T12:11:39.404-05:00You've made great progress on several goals.
