Things I am one year closer to:

1. Paying off my mortagage
   Only 29 years to go! Actually I plan to pay at least two extra payments a year to pay it off early.
2. Retiring
   I would like to retire at 60, but that is only 15 years away. Even though I max out my 401k and put 50% of the remainder in savings, I am not sure if I will be able to swing it.
3. Collecting Social Security
   Provided there will still be money in the fund when I reach 67 1/2.
4. Death
   Although inevitable, I would like to hold off on this as long as possible.
