I figured now is as good of a time as any to post the results of my 2009 goals.
Even though my goals were not very grand by comparison to some of the things others on here have accomplished, it was still a somewhat of a challenge for me.
Especially with all the extra money that I've had to spend as of late in various repairs and replacements.
I hearby declare that all my goals were achieved. Yay!
- Re-paid myself the money that I spent
on the Dec. 08 muffler repair. In addition I also had to make a few repairs to my car since then and have also re-paid myself for those.
- Added $400 to my E-Fund which brings the current total to approxamately $2097.
- Saved for my 2009 IRA and put $4000 in for the year.
- Started saving for my 2010 IRA. I wasn't sure how much I could save but I ended up with $690. That goal will continue through the new year.
- Had my first ever yard sale. It didn't go well at all but it was something I wanted to try.
- Took my vacation to Costa Rica.
- And have paid at least $100 or more every month on the Principal of my mortgage.
- Although my Travel Fund was not specifically included into my goals I managed to continue saving into it. I currently have $2,840 in it. And the trip to Costa Rica was paid for before I got on the plane.
I haven't decided on my 2010 goals yet except to continue adding to my IRA and
continue paying extra on my mortgage.
With times being tough, and may get even worse I'm not going to make very aggressive goals. But I'll see what I can do with what I have.

Anyone that can hit their goals in this economy is doing something right. :-)

I'm glad you were able to find my Costa Rica pics Fern.
I think it was during a time when you had a lot of things going on yourself.

I'm not sure if the consignment sale is for me but I may give it a try sometime.

I'm trying to get the man person to cooperate with me on the goals thing and it isn't going swimmingly. He isn't anti-goal setting but getting him to actually help isn't easy. If he doesn't help soon I'll just do it myself with the understanding that his cooperation is necessary and they might change. I'll also do some personal ones. Seeing them in writing does help me!
