I didn't complete a single goal in December. Except Have a Happy New Years Eve/Day (which was kinda of a gimme, but whatever). I ain't even mad about it. However, I do have some lofty goals/resolutions for this year. I am printing this out and putting it up somewhere as a constant reminder of what I want to accomplish this year!
Money:
Money:
Pay off one debt: This is my #1 goal for this year.
Save mad money/budget: I have a number in mind, but not sharing it here (for now)
52 Week Challenge: This is in addition to the other savings goal
Home:
Get renter's insurance: I moved in August, I really need to get on this!
Call the landlord and have the little things fixed before they turn into big things: duh
Make the apartment feel like home: As in, freakin decorate already!
Make 24 new dishes... and find a favorite/go-to: 12 months, 2 dishes a month- should be doable
Personal/Random Other:
Make friendships a priority: I haven't been very good at this lately. My friends are super important to me, and I need to spend more time with them
Read 20 books: I was close to finishing the Goodreads challenge last year- this year I want to make it happen!
Go somewhere/do something new: I love traveling, but even if I don't get away (somewhere warm and exotic...mmmm...) I always want to try to do new things
Comment more/connect more: I am so bad at commenting. If I see that a certian post has more than like 10 comments, I won't say anything because I feel like everything that can be said, has been. I'm also terrible at responding to comments- it should not take me 3 days to answer a comment! Something to work on!
Appearance/dress up more often: I was doing really well with this in fall and summer, but with the cold came my laziness- I need to step up my game again. Look good, feel good!
Continue monthly goals to reach these yearly goals!
What are your monthly goals or yearly resolutions?
I'm definitely working on SAVING this year. I'm so bad at it, tho. I started off great this month, but as the month has progressed, I've had to take money I've "saved" and put it in my checking account to pay bills. UGH! But I'm determined to save $200 this month. I'm doing it.
ReplyDeleteGIRL get on your renter's insurance riiiiight NOW! I had a renter get broken into over the weekend, and all her tvs were stolen, and her laptop....AND SHE DIDN'T HAVE RENTER'S INSURANCE! It can be pretty cheap, and definitely well worth it.
and i am terrible at responded to comments, too. i need to get better at that.
I didn't make an official "resolutions" list but off the top of my head: go on a vacation (we're planning on Jamaica right now but it isn't set in stone!), reread Harry Potter & all Dan Brown books (that's a lot so I don't know about that one), become a stronger runner, end the year with a good GPA, and really REALLY work on my wardrobe. I don't think I dress my age sometimes and I'd like to feel a little more confident about what I wear!
ReplyDeleteI would love to pay off all my debt and start saving more money. Best of luck with your resolutions

Reading more is one of my goals too. And yea....I really should get renters insurance. I'm playing with fire not getting it. But my apt is so dang expensive that I keep putting it off :-/
ReplyDeleteI'm determined to pay off my credit card within 2 years- going to take a lot of saving and won't be easy!
ReplyDeleteThese are good goals for the year. I was overzealous in my book goal since I exceeded 2012's by 5 books. I fell flat for 2013. Making new dishes, saving money and decorating are on my to-do lists as well!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals this year! You can do it!
