2015 Goals Update - My Year in Numbers

Back on January 14, 2015, I set three financial and two non-financial goals for the year. Although there is still one business day left this year, I feel comfortable reporting on my progress now so that I can enjoy the last weekend of the winter holiday. Instead of droning on about each of my goals, I decided to report some pertinent numbers instead.
