Ok, I am not a big new years resolution person as I have found in the past that after a few weeks or a couple of months they seem to fall by the wayside. That being said I have set a number of goals and hoping that by putting them public it will give me some form of accountability. I know this is a sheer number of things to work on but I am of the mindset this year to tackle them and make progress!!
If other posters would like to post their goals for the year please post them here and then come back for semi/regular updates. Maybe we can be a support group for one another
I am going to use the SMART Goals method:
Goals for 2018
Financial Goals
Eliminate last 900 dollars of student loans
Increase DRIP stocks value to 5000
1/1 2507
Increase my 403b value to 75,000
1/1 60,000
Increase wife’s 403b value to 50,000
1/1 40,000
Decrease eating out budget to: (1 morning and 1 evening per week + a few special occasions) Currently eating out 4 mornings and 2-3 evenings per week - NO MORE!!!!!
Start bringing lunches to work regularly - no more eating at school cafeteria (food not great and it is 5 dollars for teachers)
Continue saving 50/ week for vacation
1/1 50/50
Cut Discretionary Spending by 20%
Eat out of pantry/freezer for January to use up as much as possible
Not buying any office supplies for personal use (have enough to stock a small business!!)
Life Goals
Declutter 2018 items in 2018
Lose 30 pounds (starting at 300 lbs)
Personal Goals
Read 20 books
Get the upstairs bathroom and spare bedroom fully remodeled (needs to be cleaned/organized, needs estimate, needs contractor start date, needs to be completed)
Start leaving work at work! (cut down conversations about idiot/lazy/incompetent coworkers)
