Many of us remember that back at the beginning of 2008, we sat down and made a list of the goals we wanted to achieve in the coming year.
My very simple list was as follows:
- Pay off my credit cards
- Pay off my husbands student loan
- Get a “new” used car that is more family oriented yet fuel efficient.
Well, I must say that while I mostly accomplished the first goal, I have put some money back on credit cards, and so I need revisit this goal and try to figure out a way to at least halfway complete it within the next 3.5 months.
The student loan will most definitely have to wait until next year. Altho, it is only about $2,000 that needs to be paid, so maybe, just maybe we can squeeze that in somewhere.
As for the car, ha! That will most definitely be waiting if we intend to pay on the other items.
We had an interesting year, and a lot of things change. We moved from North Carolina to Texas. Our boys started growing up – literally. They are getting taller a lot faster than we anticipated, and so we are having to get bigger clothes and take them in, in the waist. We have been trying to adjust our clothing as well to fit the needs of the weather here. My husband now works in a different climate – a lot hotter than what he is used to, and so he had to go out and purchase new work clothes for his new job.
The point is, things have changed, and so we need to review our goals for this year, and try to set them up to be something that we can actually accomplish.
ASGreen over at Always The Planner also reviewed his goals for the year. You will notice how he has had to adjust some of his goals to fit his circumstances.
Have you reviewed your goals lately? Is there some adjustments that need to be made? Let us help you keep track of them by taking full advantage of our goals section.
