Ah, it’s my final progress report for 2011! How exciting. I have no idea what my 2012 resolutions will be but I had a lot of fun cooking Vietnamese food and trying my hand on sewing. The 41 books were fun too.
Personal Finance
- Reach $2,000 in my Vietnam fund. As of today, the balance is $ 1,796.26. I’m at 90% completion. YES! That’s an A. So I should rename this goal for next year. It’s really a vacation gift fund for my parents. They haven’t vacationed for over 20 years. They work every single day of the year. I thought whenever they’re ready, I could gift them some airline tickets for an international trip. I thought they would have liked to go back to Vietnam. I was mistaken! They’re actually pretty done with Vietnam. Though this breaks my heart, that is neither here nor there. The point is, this goal will be reworded for next year.
- Max out my Roth IRA. I contributed $475 for 2011. Uh, only at 9.5% completion.
F! - Make $3,000 extra income outside my full-time job. As of today I’m at $1858 which translates to 61%. Grade of D, which does not earn degrees.
