Hello after a long time!!

Hey everybody,

It’s been long. Before I start anything I need to thank Joe for keeping me away from buying anything Gold. Though I am around 10% down on FFNOX, I feel much safer at that place rather than a place I would have been if I had bought the precious metals fund.

I took the new job and it’s been awesome. Commute is long but it’s okay since I take the train. Spent a fair share of money on vacation plans for Thanksgiving weekend. Got a stupid citation and have to pay about $400 for that. So things on the financial side are going at pretty much the same level. I am hoping that next year would be better than this. I am still hoping to put away about $20,000 in our savings account by end of this year. I am about 60% there. Still a long way to go. It’s not going to be easy.

My CFA preparations are going nowhere since I started the new job. I am hoping that everything that things would settle down by end of this year and the new year would be much more organized. I have to revisit my 2008 goals to see where I stand. I am pretty sure I will not be reaching my financial goals by end of this year. But I am pretty happy about the start I had this year. Last year, I did not even know what I wanted to do. This year has given me a lot of knowledge and ground work to make the coming years better.

I haven’t regained my data files and I haven’t found the time yet to put together my networth data. So I’ll have to wait a little bit more before I post my networth updates. Hope you guys are hanging on in these tough times.

Bye for now…..
