2020 Goals

January 7th, 2020 at 11:07 pm

I don’t know why but I didn’t feel as eager as I usually do to draft my goals this year. But I know how powerful it is to have them so I am doing it now.

(1) Get EF back to 3 months’ basic expenses
(2) Adopt a permanent health-enhancing habit each month
(3) Renew my professional certification by the September due date
(4) Pay no CC interest or fees
(5) Spend time with each kid to encourage his current area of growth
(6) Complete identified home maintenance

It will be a big year for us – two graduations! (fingers crossed)

Notes:
(4) sounds easy, but I have a balance on a 0% card that expires this year. So it’ll need to be paid off and/or transferred to another 0% card with no fee involved

(5) Areas of focus:
DS1 – career planning
DS2 – housing of his own
DS3 – college transition
DS4 – Scout rank advancement
DS5 – Confidence, schoolwork

(6) Next maintenance:
Replace half-bath light/fan
Pressure-wash house
Painting: living room, family room, & downstairs ceilings

    Those are great goals! It's not wrong to not know right away. I usually am a little slow as I wait for how any raise may affect finances and retirement goals.

    P.S. I was just comprehending that you had 5 sons. But also, I haven't been able to comment on anyone's blogs in several days, so was a bit of a test comment.

    And we're not Catholic. (We used to get asked!) There was a time we thought we would never be parents. We were infertility patients for the first 3 pregnancies. Thought we were done. Then had our one & only surprise pregnancy that was - surprise again! - twins. Identical boys. We think that God has a sense of humor.
