New Years Resolutions?
| Sun, 12-14-2008 - 6:14pm |
With just over two weeks (holy goodness!!!!!) left in the year, I was wondering if anyone has thought about New Years Resolutions? I find that I am about 50/50 in terms of success rates with the resolutions I have made in the past. So this year I have 3 resolutions, and plans to meet all of them!
1) Pay down debt! As some of you

I've been thinking about goals.
1. Finances -not to use credit cards for big purchases and really consider not using them at all (I use it for most purchases and then pay in full when to bill comes in). Get more organized. I am putting together a financial binder right now where I am going to keep track of things better, and try to get in the habit of writing things down, and getting on track with a budget. These goals are very hard for me, and they have been goals in the past. I usually go really strong for a few months, and then my enthusiasm dies.
Also- I am in savings mode right now. I currently have $4500 in savings right now. Hope to have about $12000 by the end of 2009. It's possible, but I really need to watch how I am spending my money to do it. This money is for Emergency Fund and to purchased my leased car.
2. New floors in our home.
3. Spend more time with my friends -I have some really great friends. I find time goes by so fast, and months will go by and I won't have seen or talked to certain people. I just want to take the time to nurture the friendships that I am blessed to have.
I don't think you are
Pay the debt down to under 10,000 and live long enough to collect in August my first SS check and see the other house changed over from our name to Lorie's name in September
