For 2013, I chose a new word as my annual theme - FOCUS. This
year I will be paying close attention to where I choose to spend my
time and energy. I want to be more focused and streamlined with my
blog, personal time and professional goals.
2013 Personal Goals
Establish an Emergency Fund of $500 by the end of my birthday month
(June): My goal is to put aside at least $85 each month and earmarking a
5% of all additional income made to my savings account. I need to
force myself to save. I recognize the importance of having a savings and
need to make it a priority for my mental and emotional well-being.
Evaluate all outstanding debt and prioritize payoff each. My goal
is to be debt-free within 5 years – a reasonable goal would be to pay
down 25% of my debt each year and not accumulate new debt (ie – pay cash
and/or go without some extras).
Have conversations with my children on the importance of savings and
being responsible with their finances. Work out a financial plan with
each of them to include savings, giving and spending budgets.
