Over the last couple of years I’ve posted our financial goals on My Own Advisor.  I do this because:

I believe all goals should be clear and transparent,
I believe all goals should be realistic,
I believe all goals should be measured, and
I believe all goals should be documented.

So those are the academic reasons.  The other reason?  Doing this stuff works.  Here are our financial goals for this year:

Maximize our TFSA contributions.
Put $300 lump sum payments on our mortgage every month.
Save $5,000 for home improvements.
Do not incur any new debt.

As of this post here’s where we are:
Maximize our TFSA contributions.
Done!  We filled up our TFSAs earlier this year but with the budget announcement to increase the contribution limit to $10,000 per adult for this account, my wife and I have $9,000 more in contribution room to add this year if we can tackle it. So, we’ve met this goal but we’ve decided to try and maximize this account, again, for the second time this year…

ELMAU, Germany – European Union President Donald Tusk is urging leaders at the Group of Seven summit to present a united front on maintaining sanctions against Russia for its actions in Ukraine.
Tusk, a former Polish prime minister, says the only question is whether to make the sanctions even tougher.
He told a news conference Sunday that “if anyone wants to start a debate about the sanctions regime, the discussion could only be about strengthening them.”
The U.S. and the European Union have imposed financial restrictions on Russian companies and individuals over Russian support for separatists in eastern Ukraine. They and NATO say Russian troops and military equipment are in eastern Ukraine — something Russia denies.
Tusk said the summit in Bavaria could “reconfirm the G-7 unity on the sanctions policy.”
