Since July, I haven't had any progress to report on the retirement goal to have $486,000 in retirement assets by 2019. Our plan values dropped for two months straight. However, this month they mostly recovered. With all the money we dumped in over the past couple months, our retirement assets are now at $252,891, or $4319 more than they were in late July.
To make the 2019 goal, I need to be growing by more than that per month, let alone by quarter. But I know investment values can be irregular. Hopefully we'll make up for lost time someday soon.

It really helps to set a 5 year plan for savings/retirement contributions and listen to the economic probabilities as factually based as possible. They'll be a lot of rumble grumble accompanying the 2016 election. Europe sounds healthier than months past. Your future income relies on the magic of compounding over many years. The market will rollercoaster repeatedly. What do you think?
