Retirement goal progress (1st time since December!)

March 31st, 2016 at 08:24 pm

I haven't been able to post any progress because our funds all lost value since December. Finally they are up over the last high point, so I can report a small amount of progress on our retirement goal!

The goal: $486,000 in retirement assets by 2019

Current balance: $263,174

Dec 2015 balance: $258,118

Progress: $5,056

Pretty good progress if it were for one month, but over three months it's not that great!

To reach the goal by our birthdays in 2019, that's 35 months, so we'd need $6366 per month to reach it. Should see some big leaps the second half of the year if I'm able to max out the Roths like I hope to!

    Ceejay, what is your retirement goal? I noticed a nice uptick in the market this past month, too...my portfolio's up about $19,000.

    My ultimate goal is 8x whatever our income is at retirement, but my incremental goal is listed above. I'm pretty far behind on it.

    The market has really been playing havoc with my nest egg too. Friday's performance caused it to be at a high point (not the highest point, but a 3 month high ..)
