Backwards

What is the opposite of forward progress, backwards regression.

(1) Max out 401ks - $33,000
(2) Max out IRAs - $10,000
(3) Prepay mortgage - $1200
(4) Add to baby fund - $3500
(5) Add to emergency fund - $7000
(6) House/Furniture fund - $3000
Total - $57,700

(1) - $7100 (22%) (goal is $33,000)
(2) - $3200 (32%) (goal is $10,000)
(3) - $300 (25%) (goal is $1200)
(4) - $750 (21%)($7135 in our baby fund, goal is $10,000)
(5) - $-1800 (-26%)($24,412 in our emergency fund, goal is $32,000)
(6) - $3000 (100%) (Completed)

Total - $12,550 (22%)

We have written the check to the IRS and the check to the CPA, hence we moved $6,000 out of our emergency fund. We'll have to work hard to replenish our emergency fund and regain ground on our 2010 savings goals.

Are you able to add RSS feeder functionality to your website? A couple of weeks ago I consolidated all my PF blogs via RSS feed and this is the only one that didn't seem to have the option. Hopefully it can be something easily added as I don't know much about it. Thanks!
