New Year Goals for 2018

Given my new year goals from last year came in February, it seems only fitting that this years come in March. Although that does make me think I should set a goal of having new year goals in January, but that seems a bit too meta for me. So on with the show! Goal 1: Increase Net Worth By $150k This year I am upping the anti. Each of the previous two years I have aimed for $100k and blown it out of the water by almost 30% and then almost 50%. So this year I am banking that previous...

Final Tally – New Year Goals For 2017

I am glad I did not include punctuality as one of my new year goals for 2017, as January disappeared before I could set aside any time for this blog. But the time has come, and now it is time to look back on 20917 and see how our goals from 2017 went. Following that I need to release my 2018 goals out into the world. Hopefully that will once again help to hold me accountable, and speaking of accountable, lets see how I did in 2017: Score: a total of 3 out of 7 (or 43%) for my 2017 goals....

New Year Goals for 2017

I can’t believe that January is over and I haven’t yet written down my 2017 new year goals. That means I am already a twelfth of the way towards failing! Time to fix that. Number zero of my new year goals: write down new year goals for 2017. Goal complete! Go me. But seriously let’s get into my new year goals for 2017, and see if I can turn them from text into reality. There will be some goals left over from 2016 that were not quite finished. As the saying goes: if at first you don’t succeed, make it...

Final Tally – 9 New Year Goals For 2016

With 2016 over it is time to have a look back at the new year goals I set at the start of the year. I was well on the way at the half way point, so lets see how many were reached at year end. Score: a slightly generous 6 out of 9 (or 67%) for my 2016 new year goals. 1) Increase Net Worth By $100k Goal: Success. The last half of the year was much better than the first fore this goal. It started with two of the largest single month gains I have in my records, and kept going after...

5 Realistic Steps To Win Financially

Many people would say there are more than five steps. Others would say just one or two things could get you on top financially. Both could be argued, but after reading many blogs, living out all of the five to some degree, and doing a lot of thinking, I have come up with my five realistic steps to get on top, stay on top, and win financially. To set the ground work I just want to say that by “on top” and “win” I mean not having to worry about money. I am not talking top 1% or 0.1%, I am talking...

9 New Year Goals For 2016

I have never been one to set new year goals. Never one to set goals in general actually. My goals have always been things like “do better” or “save more”, however this year I thought some more specific goals may be in order. The realisation that we were accidental millionaires last year, along with paying off the house, have made me want to focus more on achievements. So these are my 9 new year financial goals for 2016. Increase Net Worth By $100k Initially I put $75k here, thinking that $100k was a bit too optimistic. However after I actually took the...
