Redeployment

November 23rd, 2008 at 04:35 pm

Well I am heading home from my deployment. I will have 'barely' met my financial goals I set while deployed but considering everything I am not at all disappointed.

I will have set aside enough $$ to pay off my Car Loan.

I continued to max out my IRAs for the year as well as put an additional 5K in my brokerage (before the recent drops but oh well).

I guess most of all I am happy and a bit anxious to be heading back to the 'real world'.

I made a bunch of good friends out there and will definitely miss the mission and the impacts we had on the strengthening of the Iraqi Security Forces.

Most of all I will be glad to reunite with my wife and son. It has been 7 mos since I last saw them and he went from being 5 mos to 12 mos old.

Wish me luck!

    I'm so happy you are coming home. You should be proud even if you didn't meet all of your financial goals. It was mighty ambitious of you to have them considering what else you had to worry about!

    Welcome home!! It is okay to feel anxious about coming home...a very normal feeling. It happened to my DH. Just take your time and find someone to talk to that understands. Be honest with your wife, too.

    Congrats on meeting your goals!!
