Ahead of Schedule

2008 goals:
(1) 2007 IRA - $8000 (this goal is now closed)
(2) Car fund - $17000 (this goal has been completed!)
(3) E/R fund - $10000 (this goal has been completed!)
(4) Baby fund - $5000 (this goal has been completed!)
(5) 2008 IRA - $10000
Total: $50,000

Current numbers:
(1) $4000 (50%.)
(2) $17000 (Progress - 100%.)
(3) $12865 ($20,865*) (Progress - 129%)
(4) $5108 (Progress - 102%)
(5) $8000 (Progress - 80%)
Total: $46,973 (Progress - 94%)
* Our emergency fund already had $8000.

First time all year, we are ahead of schedule on our 2008 money goals. We are about $3600 ahead on our 2008 savings goal. Reason, I have been quite aggressive in funding our 2008 IRAs the last few weeks because I am trying to take advantage of the down market.

On the other hand, we are low on cash so we will need to take care with our spending over the next few weeks.
