Wife’s Roth IRA Contribution

Wife’s Roth IRA Contribution

Well I decided that we aren’t going to run out of money in the near future, so I went ahead and sent my wife’s 2006 Roth IRA contribution off to Scottrade.  This means that other than my 401k we won’t be able to contribute anymore money to our retirement accounts until 2007, but it also means that we are being proactive and have already contributed our 2006 contributions before probably a majority of people who do actually contribute to their IRAs make their 2005 tax contribution (sometime shortly before they file their taxes on April 15th).

Anyway look for a good boost to our net worth in next month’s financial report.

New site & New Name

New site & New Name

Well in case someone actually read my previous blog you can tell I got a new site and also a new name. Previously my blog was titled “My Financial Goals” and was hosted over at blogspot. Well I really wanted more control over my blog and decided to move to WordPress and host the blog on its own domain. The domain MyFinancialGoals was not available so I ended up going with MyFinancialJourney.com – which in the end I think I like even better.

Anyway I’m still getting things under control with the new site, so I apologize if there are any inconveniences in the next couple weeks. Hopefully I get things squared away and then can just concentrate on posting new items to my blog.

I’m also open to any feedback on the new site
