So far, so spiffy.

The multitude of accounts and savings goals mesmerizes me. Minus the tax payment due in a little more than two weeks we are almost at $30K.

Hubby is actually planning a vacation. This man rarely plans, so I feel very loved and special because it's on my behalf (birthday) that we are sailing out of the country (you read right) for a weekend.

Updated Content: I have now a sixth account at TD Ameritrade, the Suze Orman "Save Yourself" fund that a handful of my friends have. I am not proud. I did it for the RETURN.
Fils: 4 accounts
Mari: 4 accounts
Moi: 10 accounts

I also have some ideas for putting the 401(k) noncontributory fund to work, supported by up-to-date research from industrial analysts and current market outlook, and filtered by risk/reward and expense ratios. For the trading account, I'm looking at AAUK; for others: RPIBX, BEARX, and GLD.

Goals I'd like to try for next quarter:
1. Wheedle/coax for return to World's Easiest Contract Job of Adequate Lucre and Awesome Lunchmates.
2. Take a Cascade Bicycle Club Traffic Safety Course.
3. Outfit my bike with blinking lights, buy ugly neon jacket to promote visibility.
4. Remodel bathroom -- boy will be irked; apparently I am the only resident guided by visions to believe there is another bathroom downstairs.
5. Get bicycle tuned up.
6. Apportion equal amounts of savings to Home Improvement, and Mortgage Reduction.
7. Install garden. I am cutting back my initial garden plans by half: this will allow me to pay it off faster and to start on the landscaping.
8. Order cistern: find space for it in the back.
9. Consult with a local rainwater harvesting/plumbing dude about greywater filtration system.
10. Apportion some savings to Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Yen, Silver.
11. Apply for Passport renewal.
12. Apply for Disability insurance.
13. Learn Japanese.
