    Re: What Resolutions are you Making for 2007?

    Morning all,

    I usually dont do Resolutions for a new year, but not using this site and NOT doing a budget for a few months, I have been spending to much!!! I AM going to sign up for Mvelopes . Someone gave me Quicken 2006, which is a great program, but dosnt really help me budget.

    So I guess im feeling grateful everyone is still here and I can hop back on the Budget wagan and start again!!!!

      Resolutions for 2007
      1. Stick to budget
      2. Stay focused on becoming debt free
      3. and the old stand by, lose some of this extra weight. (could be accomplished by not eating out which helps waist and checkbook!!!)

        Thanks froggie!! Thats what I need to do too. I love to go out to eat and I need to stop it. For instance, I brought Dad out for dinner last nite , knowing I had a $25 gift card for this restarant (perk of being a school bus driver ) and the waitress gives us the bill, and I go to get my gift card and I forgot to grab it of the dining room table at home!!! I paid it and was kicking myself on the way out

          My resolutions are to first , pay off my land, second, pay off my car. Take a vacation for the first time in years. Save another $20,000 in the $20 challenge and earn $20,000 in interest on my savings.

            Save more and be more active in how money is invested.
            Try to be kinder and more understanding.

              Professional:
              -- Complete final field-specific certification (1 class left, starting at the end of this month); possibly begin general industry certification
              -- Either get promoted at current employer or move to another company. I would prefer the first, as I like the company I'm with now, but I'm at the point where I'd consider a lateral move to another company just to get out from my current supervisor.

              Financial:
              -- Fully fund Roth for 2006 & 2007 (currently have $2500 for 2006)
              -- Have at least $6000 in the house fund by end of 2007
              -- Not touch EF

              Personal:
              -- Learn Spanish
              -- Go somewhere I've never been before
              -- Learn to sew, even though this may be dangerous to my financial health

                      Stick to the payoff schedule I have for my remaining debts.
                      Try not to blow the extra paychecks Ive set aside for my "fun money"
                      Continue to do well in my Prereqs.

                        Well, I met my first goal for 2007. I paid off the $24,000 on the land that I own. One debt down, and one to go!

                          I'm looking to save $3,000 this year, pay off my cc debt (about $4,500) and begin to pay back Mums.
