I have decided to change my emergency fund bar directly to $10,000 instead of saving $5,000, then adding another $5,000 later. Really, what is the point? $10,000 is $10,000 and that is what I need to save for about 3 months worth of emergency funds. I would eventually like 6 months worth, but 3 months is more than enough for now.
All this talk about rolling over my 401K and Pension had me thinking about them. And so I added a retirement progression bar. I would love to be able to save up to $1,000,000 combined with my husband. Right now we are only at $49,723.11, which is only 4.9% of our ultimate goal. We sure do have a long way to go! But I am sure we can do it. If not now, then we will catch up when I start contributing again. Of course the big issue with saving this money is time and my husband has less time to save than I do since he is 9 years older than me. I'm in my 30s and he is in his 40s, but we still have potentially over 20 years left to save.
