Update for Feb 2015:

Brokerage Investment Goal:

• Feb Investments contributions were $1102.92
• YTD Investments contributions are at $1962.77
• Outlook: Green – everything’s on track.

Roth IRA Investments Goal:

• Feb Investments were $400
• YTD Investments total $800
• Outlook: Green – everything’s on track.

Cash Flow Goal:

• Feb was cash flow positive, with $839.67 $839.57* being added to the bank accounts
• YTD is at a positive $13.77 $13.67 net cash flow
• Outlook: Yellow at this time since planned spending has me slightly below target.  Though it’s very early in the year and since I am very conservative in my estimates I anticipate some expenses being less than planned, which will move this green.

Additional Mortgage Principal Stretch Goal:

• Feb was $0
• YTD is $0
• Outlook: Green.  I anticipate making my first principal-only payment of $1,500 in March when I get my bonus.  Making this payment relies on some assumptions I’ve made when it comes to my bonus at work.  I am estimating around $8,000 (pre-tax) for my bonus, but won’t know for sure if I’m right until mid-March. If I over-estimated, I’ll have some work to do to refactor the budget for the year.

*Updated 3/3/2015: It appears I entered the wrong number for one of my gas purchases, resulting in a $0.10 difference.  Oh the joys of manual entry! Screenshot updated.
