Ok, so I made the change in time for the higher Roth 457 contribution in January, yay! So contributions through the end of February:
- Roth 457: $900.00
- HSA: $1820.00
- Pension: 915.00
Total: 3635.00
Haven’t done taxes yet; it’ll jump then assuming everything looks right to max 2025 Roth IRAs then (all signs point to yes). Planning to get it done this week while I’m on spring break.

March Check In!
Been dealing with lots of unexpected expenses for myself and my cat this month, some of which has been absorbed by emergency sinking funds, some not. Nevertheless I did an okay job of saving this month: $2,640 total.
$1000 of that will go towards student loans, and $500 to my Roth IRA (which I actually got around to start setting up today-- I still need to transfer funds but at least it’s in-progress now). The remaining $1,140 will go towards my car/house down payment bucket.
I’m now at $12,660 saved this year, 62% of the way to my goal of $20,260 saved! I’m feeling confident that I will reach my stretch goal of $26,000 saved. If I keep up this pace, this year I will hopefully pay off all my student loans and make decent progress towards a down payment on a house. Very exciting!

Just over $5k to end of March. Last year i kept most of the savings as our cash emergency funds, and those are full so i am buying shares as i go this year.

Through March I had income of $19,954 and saved $13,900. I won’t have any problem hitting my $26,000 goal which is good to know so early in the year. My sales have started off really well so I’m anticipating very nice commission checks later in the year.

Belated end of March check in! The Boy got a sort of 401(k) bonus that was a nice jump start.
We’re now at $9828 for the year so far.

I typically like trying to double this ($40,520), since Wizard and I are both working FT at good jobs.
I frontloaded some investing this year (i.e. contributed to my 2025 IRA), so we’re currently at $28098.69/$40520 (69.3% done). I’m planning for a slowdown/regression in the next couple months, though, as we’re looking at some work on the house & garden that will need us to draw on savings and then refill those buckets.
