2008 Goals – Year in Review
Another year, come and gone. I can’t believe how quickly it’s flown by! It’s been a very busy, very eventful year, but VERY good, filled with many fun adventures, much personal growth and the meeting of a special someone. 
With the year winding down, I wanted to do a wrapup on my goals for the year.
- Run three 5ks or one 10k
– Done! Ran the Flying Pig 10K in May, as well as the Susan G. Komen 5K in September. - Become and stay debt free, completing baby step 3 of Dave Ramsey’s plan
– I became debt free for the first time in a couple years in March. I’m still working on the full 3-month emergency fund, but paying for school (to stay out of debt) is a focus. - Complete a minimum of 12 credit hours of classes without incurring any debt
– Done! 13 credit hours will be completed, with no debt. - Complete two landscaping/outdoor projects
– Done! I finished both the walkway/landscaping bed from the garage to the deck and cleaning/treating the deck. - Become more knowledgeable about mutual funds and retirement savings
– Done! I’ve read several books and many articles online, and continue to stay on top of financial news. I rolled over my old company’s 401k to a Roth IRA and I’m contributing to that for the time being, until I qualify for my new company’s 401k matching plan. - Maintain weight
– Done! Though I’ve struggled with eating healthy since I started the new job, and at times dipped below the goal, I’m currently at where I wanted to be at the start of the year. Thankfully, gaining weight hasn’t been a problem.
I’m very much looking forward to all that’s in store in 2009! I hope God has blessed each of you with a great 2008 and continues to bless you in 2009!
