I love the new year. It's like getting a clean slate. Eveything from the previous year is erased and my chalkboard is clean and ready for my goals. I don't "do" resolutions. I "do" goals. It's a mental thing. Goals give you something to work towards. Resolutions are like "do or fail" mantras.
Here are some of my goals for 2009:
1. Pay off my last credit card with a balance.
2. Pay off my student loan (I'm so close. I have like less than a grand left)
3. Get to the gym a minimum of 4 days a week.
4. After paying off my credit card, use 1/2 the monthly payment to put towards paying down the trailer loan and the other 1/2 split between both boys college fund.
5. Heavily contribute to roth IRA
6. Max out DH's contribution to retirement acct.
7. Max out my contribution to retirement acct.
8. Save at least a 6 month (minimum 4 month) emergency household fund
9. Arrange a monthly "adults only" get together for potluck,cards, games, etc.
10.Plan weekly dinners and STICK WITH IT!
11. Get back to volunteering at least monthly.
12. Refi my mortgage when rates hit 3%.
That's it for now. It's gonna be a good year.
