Worked on outdoor projects this weekend: new sidewalk, a couple of solar lights for the garage, reworked a large rock border (free), checked water lines and timers, and potted some plants. I'm sore, but we are happy to get these done before the hot weather hits!

Great Job on knocking things off the list (especially the CC)!!!

Looks like everyone is killing it!

A lot of my stuff has been stalled until after our big hardwood flooring project is complete (within the next 3 weeks) and our tax refund is finalized, so I'll be able to full evaluate checking balance after that to start cracking on some of the items I haven't started yet.

Fully Fund 2020 IRA - $6k / $6k DONE 1/8/21
Fully Fund 2021 IRA - $0 / $6k
Invest $3k into children's custodial index funds ($1k per child) - $300 / $3000
Save $3k to go towards lot purchase for future rental unit(s) - 0 / $3000
Save $2k in vacation fund - $1450 / $2000
Invest $1k into my separate brokerage account - $600 / $1000
Pay additional $3000 on mortgage principal - 0 / $3000
Make $1500 in extra side hustle income (eBay, Etsy, CL, etc) - $600 / $1500

Lose 10lbs - 10/10 -- now adding an additional 6 pounds to this goal, hope to meet this goal by July.
