New Year's Resolutions for 2009

First let's visit last years:

1. Buy a house for the misses and me. (Check, March 2008)
2. Setup a truly easier lifestyle at said home. (Check-ish, I wish my house was more organized)
3. Max out Roth IRA for 2007 (til April). (Check, March 2008)
4. Begin a true side business. (Uh not unless you count all of the stuff we sold on Ebay or in our 3 garage sells, I think this will become a 2010 goal)
5. Go on an extended vacation. (Check, August-September 2008 to the Philippines)

So 4-ish out of 5 ain't bad.

Bring on '09:

1. Pay off Honda Loan.
2. Max out Roth IRA for 2008 (til April).
3. Renogotiate mortgage for better rate, hopefully.
4. Concentrate on new job.
5. Create a better blog page.
6. Get one car IN the garage.
7. Lose 20lbs.
8. (World Peace)

Wish me luck...

New Years Resolutions Check #2

1. Buy a house for the misses and me.
2. Setup a truly easier lifestyle at said home.
3. Max out Roth IRA for 2007 (til April).
4. Begin a true side business.
5. Go on an extended vacation.

Above is the list I made at the beginning of the year. My GF and I did indeed purchase a home and are currently getting it all ready to live in, which is taking longer than I like. But I am also happy to report that the Roth IRA is maxed out for 2007 and I have put measures in place to have 2008 maxed out a couple of months early, instead of two days before tax day.

Yeah me...

New Years Resolution Update #1

2. Setup a truly easier lifestyle at said home.
3. Max out Roth IRA for 2007 (til April).
4. Begin a true side business.
5. Go on an extended vacation.

Sorry for no posts in awhile, work is pretty busy and at night, I am happy to report that my GF and I have found a home. Our offer has been accepted, and we are in the midst of inspections, evaluations, getting insurance, and sharing info with the lending institutions.

It's pretty hectic, but the payoff is going to be sweet. Me and the GF have been talking about making your own luck, this seems like the first step.
