Luckily, I'm much better with money than golf. I had the uncanny talent for turning a 12 foot putt into a 20 foot putt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1140724038809555252006-02-23T14:47:00.000-05:002006-02-23T14:47:00.000-05:00Hi LAMoneyGuy-- the reason I kept my goal modest i...Hi LAMoneyGuy-- the reason I kept my goal modest is that I will be closing on an condo in a few months, so between mortgage points, other closing costs, moving, and whatever minor decoration and furniture I can still afford at that point, I expect to take a big hit.Madame Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536189690094235926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1140723443711986102006-02-23T14:37:00.000-05:002006-02-23T14:37:00.000-05:00Sorry, this isn't about this post, but about your ...Sorry, this isn't about this post, but about your New Worth Goal for 1/1/07. You have done remarkably well to be at the Net Worth that you are in your mid-thirties. Especially in a high cost of living town such as NY.<BR/><BR/>However, you goal for 1/1/07 seems awfully modest. Your goal is a mere 3.5% higher than your current net worth.
