2010 Goals Review
By the second half of 2010, I had basically forgotten about my goals for 2010...but now that it's the new year, I need to recap no matter what!
- Max out Roth IRA
My final $200 needed for the $5K limit for 2010 was auto-transferred from my checking account last week. This is the first time I've fully-funded my IRA in one year, instead of going through to March of the following one! - E-Fund to $15K
I accomplished this in June and it's still sitting pretty. :) - Continue with CFA exams
I didn't pass Level 1 when I got my results in late January. After much contemplation (and the lack of a life for the 7+ months I spent studying in 2009), I decided not to continue with the exams for now. I might try again in a few years depending on my circumstances, but it was incredibly difficult to study without a direct support group (ie family in the city or a significant other) who could cook/help out with other tasks while I studied. - Take golf lessons
I took a golf class in March and it was a small but fun group! Golf is an expensive hobby and since I don't have the money to devote to becoming really good (green fees and lessons), it's something I'll only do occasionally. But I still like going to the driving range when I can! - Knit 3 items
I finished a beanie, a simple scarf and am currently halfway through an infinity scarf. I can't seem to just sit and knit, and I'm not good enough to do it while watching TV because I need to focus. - Volunteer
I volunteered from January until September when my position wasn't exciting anymore. I did have fun in the beginning so I definitely want to find other options, especially one where other volunteers are more in my age range so I can potentially make some friends.

Well done on accomplishing almost all of 2010s goals. I have set out my goals for this year and my only Resolution is to stick with them.
That is awesome! YOu are setting yourself nicely in case of well...anything.
Golf is great! :) BF and I play in the summer and we usually try and get those deals where you pay for 1 and the 2nd play for free :) It really cuts the cost down!
@Maureen - Thank you! Good luck to you as well!
@Frugalista - Thanks, doll. And I'm open to well...anything! ;)
@MoneyPinch - Ooh, I've never seen the 2-for-1 deal here but something to look into! Now I just need a golf buddy!
