Update on my 2016 goals:
1 - Max out my 401k by March (yearly bonus comes in Feb and helps get it done)
2 - Invest at least $50k in the stock market, outside 401K (new money, not including dividends)
3 -Achieve minimal goal of $5k in dividends, $6k is stretch goal. - Revised to $7k.
4 - Visit at least 1 new country, ideally 2 (did 4 new countries in 2015 ).
5 - Do at least one advanced degree/course in Business or Marketing from a top school in the US
6 - Do a small medical surgery I've been delaying for years (it makes the list every year but it never gets done).
7 - Extra mile, get promoted!
1 - GREEN - Done!
2 - GREEN - I've invested $27k so far in new securities. Ahead of target.
3 - GREEN - I've collected (and reinvested) $3347 in dividends this H1, so I believe I'll be able to hit $7k by EOY.
4 - GREEN - Austria + Hungary, done. We ended up not going to Slovakia, sorry @lucas03, not enough time.
5 - GREEN - Got in a custom Marketing executive degree at Wharton Univ. of Pennsylvania starting in August, company sponsors 100%. Extremelly happy I got in!
6 - Got it checked with a couple different doctors, both confirmed there's no reason to worry and to just live with it. Will be removed from the list.
7 - RED - Promotion won't happen this year but got onto the Marketing degree instead and more company equity, can't complain.
Next month marks the 1 year anniversary from the date I decided to "change my life" and I started to save more and invest in DGI. Thank you all for the amazing learnings and sharing of information during this last year!
