My Frugal Miser - June Update on 2025 Goals

 I've made more progress towards my goals.  You can check out my goals for 2025.

Financial Goals

My first financial goal is to fully fund my 2025 ROTH IRA contribution.  As of April 21, I have fully funded the $7,000 annual cap.  

I want to add $1,000/mo. to my short term savings account.  I use this account for periodic large expenses like property taxes.  I have added $8,500 to this account in 2025, and I have automatic transfers of $500 every month, which means I will meet this goal.  

I also want to add $25,000 to my brokerage accounts this year.  I'll start focusing on this now that short term savings have been funded.

Fun Goals

I aim to spend NOTHING on fun this year by submitting sweepstakes entries to online casinos and cashing out the proceeds.  I've been working too much to write many entries but am still committed to this one.

The Other Stuff

I want to read a book a month.  I finished the third book, A Time for Mercy by John Grisham.  I'm now working on Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover.

I haven't done anything with our mopeds.

I haven't started to learn to play and instrument.
