Having just been offered a great job and with my college graduation looming ahead, my main task is to save about $11,000. Based on some rough calculations, I think I will need about that much to move to the new city (where my job is), get an apartment, car, new wardrobe, etc. I’m excited!

Taxes are definitely 1st priority given, but next on the list is updating my budget. I intended to get it done in January, but that didn’t happen.

I am dealing with unemployment, a rapidly dwindling emergency fund, and painful investment losses. My immediate task is to figure out whether or not I can top off 2008 Roth IRA contributions. After that, I plan to take a serious look at my shorter term cash/investment balance and my long term asset allocation risk tolerance.

I have two ROTH IRA open, one for me and one for my wife and I am managing both – my task is to close one (after I recover from about $700 losses) and break even and than combine in one – this will make it easier to manage.

Before winter is over – I still need to reevaluate the current investment allocation of my 401K. I am particularly concerned about keeping the costs down so to maximize my buying power and my returns

This spring, I will research where to invest my 2009 ROTH IRA instead of putting it off to 2010.
