2018 Investing Missions Part 1

This is how my Robinhood Portfolio changed in 2017 -

	1/1/2017	12/31/2017	Change since Jan 1st	Avg/Week
Robinhood Portfolio Value	$2,186.18	$3,586.18	$1,400.00
Money from my pocket	$1,876.00	$2,902.00	$1,026.00	$19.68
Dividends	$59.27	$137.76	$78.49	$1.51
Gains/Realized & Unrealized	$250.91	$546.42	$295.51

Since I quit working as an engineer, I've been a lot happier, but I also don't make as much money. I'd like to contribute more to my Robinhood Portfolio, and my Roth IRA, but living expenses come first :) 

On December 31st, 2018, I hope to have completed the following Investing Missions - 

• Robinhood Portfolio is $5,500+. 
• Dividends received are $125+. 
• Contribute $2,750 to my Roth IRA
• The maximum I can contribute at my age is $5,500, but that's going to be tough. 
• Make an extra payment every month on my student loans.
• I have automatic payments set up, but I'll make additional payments in between those payments, to help reduce the overall interest I'm paying. 
• Stick to and USE a budget.
• Along with more investing plans that I'll detail in a separate post. 

Do you have any Investing Missions for 2018?
