Accomplished

I just made my $4000 contribution to my Roth IRA for 2007 this morning. Man it feels good to have that done. On top of that, today is payday and I had a confluence of other bills to mail off too, so it generally feels like a financial cleansing just happened.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with that $4k. The general plan is some kind of ETF, since I can't touch the money for another 35 years anyway, but the market is so depressing lately I don't even want to pick.

I already have my $5k contribution for 2008 saved up (factoring in my KPERS rollover), but I'm keeping it in savings until tax time next year. So I guess the next immediate goal is to save up for this summer. Unemployment here I come!
