I keep a 'Goal journal' of sorts and I have been keeping this journal in one form or another since my graduation from college.
I just looked up goals dated 1/3/07 - the last one I set yearly goals for around the beginning of the year.
Among my goals - financial goals anyway - on that list were:
- Pay off shiny 'silver' card -SUCCESS
- Find a new Job within company - 1 week till FAILURE
- Establish business on the web - *I'm not sure if this blog - and the few dollars I've made with it - would count as a 'business' or not.
- Got out of debt (then back in) then back out (then back in again)
- Saved approximately $2500-3000 in 401k
- Started a personal finance book club at work
- Paid for a family members birthday part in cash
- Paid for all Xmas gifts with cash
- Get out of debt and stay out of debt...again; the 1st part is easy, the 2nd part not so much
- Pay for wedding expenses with cash rather than credit
- Find a new, better paying, less stressful job
- Double current yearly income
- Help fiance learn the benefits of being frugal
- Become a millionaire (OK, it's not likely but you never know)
