Mortgage Payoff

Am revising 'Mortgage Payoff' target date from December 2009 to August 2010.

Basically, I was counting on year-end bonuses and stock options(that would vest in Dec 2009 with the current firm) to get me towards the ZERO balance and since I've been laid off I won't be able to meet that goal.

My new goal of August 2010 is not unrealistic but it is a very optimistic goal.
I could probably 'widdled down' my mortgage into the low teens but its good to have a bit challenging task ahead!

My Goals

Financial:

• Contribute maximum allowed to 401k.
• Contribute maximum allowed to Roth IRA.
• Pay down Mortgage.
• Maintain NO credit card debt.
• Create alternate Income stream.
  

Spiritual/Health:

• Meditate atleast 15 min everyday.
• Bi-cycle atleast 7 miles 2x a week.
• Read atleast 5-6 good books a year.
  
• Simplify Life(de-clutter).
  

Fun/People:

• Watch a good movie every quarter.
• Make time/have dinner with friends every other weekend.
• Take flying lessons.
• Volunteer 2x a year.
  

Travel:

• Atleast 1(one) international trip a year.
  

Career:

• Stay at my current job for foreseeable future.
• Complement atleast one of my co-workers everyday.
  

I'll write more on how I got into and out of credit card debt and my reasons/desire to pay off my mortgage sooner..
