Excited for the new year! I know it's not REALLY any different, just a date on a calendar but it sure FEELS different, and I love it!
This year we are doing it month by month, lots of our goals will carry over for each month. Getting to celebrate meeting a goal will make keeping it up the next month easier! (I hope)
Do you make resolutions, or goals? Are they weekly, monthly, for the whole year or by a certain date? What is on your list for 2014?
Having goals is important but having a plan to meet those goals is even more important!

ReplyDeleteGreat goals. Especially paying down your debt. We did that recently and it feels so good to not have any credit card any more. We pinched our penny's hard and it kind of sucked for awhile but so worth it. Not eating out at all will be a tough one I would think but I wish you luck in it.
ReplyDeleteWe have goals too. Pay down our second mortgage, get back to working out 5 days a week like I use too, stay on top of the picking up around the house so it doesn't get all cluttered and for me, get blog posts done ahead of time so I'm not staying up late the night before working on one.
These goal are great! I might copy you on them!!!

I love how you have a plan to achieve your goals- not just the goals. It's so easy to make New Years resolutions but without a plan few have any staying power. Good for you!
