Debatable. I'm fairly clingy with D. and all my close friends. I need to get it through my brain that "aloof" and "independent" are not the same. I haven't mastered how to do my own thing without feeling like I'm being cold to someone else.

Save $2,500 towards a Roth IRA.
I did open an IRA this year and saved $3,300 towards retirement. I have every intention of maxing it out at $5,000 for 2012 and opening a second one.
Begin to invest.
Check. Thank you, DailyWorth for telling me about Betterment. I still have a lot to learn. Book recommendations?
Stay active, exercise 3-4 times per week.
Fail. I went full steam at mach 12 and then injured my knees. Was a sack of potatoes for most of 2011 even though I just recently joined a gym. "The first wealth is health," has really hit home recently though and I've been going at least every other day now.

Purchase a nice (used) car.
I scrapped this goal earlier this year when I decided to attack my student loan debt instead. For now, D. and I share his car and costs. He's very generous.

Decide next big move - stay put or run away?
Made a big change and staying put, for all the right reasons. I love where I'm at in my life right now.
