2008 Goals Checkup
It’s been about three months, so let’s do a check up on my goals for the year.
- Run three 5ks or one 10k
– Done! Ran the Flying Pig 10K in May - Become and stay debt free, completing baby step 3 of Dave Ramsey’s plan
– I was debt free in March and have stayed that way since. I’m currently building up my 3 month emergency fund. - Complete a minimum of 12 credit hours of classes without incurring any debt
– 8 credit hours have been completed without debt. 5 more credit hours are planned for the fall semester. - Complete two landscaping/outdoor projects
– The walkway/landscaping bed from the garage to the deck has been started; cleaning and treating the deck should be done within the month. - Become more knowledgeable about mutual funds and retirement savings
– I’ve read three books and many articles online, and continue to stay on top of financial news. I’ve reallocated what I have invested in my company 401k and will start additional investing once my emergency fund is fully funded. - Maintain weight
– So far, so good, though it hasn’t so much been a result of exercise as not eating as much due to stress and over all busy-ness.
Good progress so far, much better than in past years! For the first time since I started posting my goals in 2005, I might just reach every one.
