newyearsfire.jpgHappy New Years everyone!

I can’t believe how fast this year had gone by. So I guess it’s that time of the year for New Year Resolutions. This year I have some critical Resolutions so here they are:

  1. The most important one is to get out of debt. If I follow my current plans, I should be out of debt by the end of February. This is the key goal here because after I get this one out the way, I can start my other goals.
  2. Start my IRA account. I would like to max out the 4,000 dollar limit this year and hopefully continue to do the same year after year.
  3. Maintain my current scholarship. Last semester, I really slacked off and wasn’t able to meet my scholarship G.P.A requirements. Although I was only .05 short of 3.6, I still got my warning from the academic department so I really need to do well this year, if I want to keep my scholarship.
  4. Start a savings account for a down payment for my house. The goal here is to be able to purchase a house 2 years after I graduate. So that gives me 4 years to build up my down payment.
  5. To get back into jogging. Over these past years I have been quite lazy and have gotten out of shape. I am going to make an effort this year to start jogging again.

So that’s it, there they are. I will sometime near the future make deadlines for these goals and post them here. I tend to follow my goals better when they have a due date associated with them.

Okay, so that’s enough of my goals and I want to bring out all the resolutions that I got from other bloggers. I will post them in the order that I received them.

  1. To give up fast food.
  2. To buy a house with a minimal interest debt

Surfer Sam’s Resolutions:

My New Year’s resolution for 2007 is a simple one, to try new things.
But “new things” doesn’t mean bungee jumping or moving to Sri Lanka. It means smaller adventures, to get out of the rut of the familiar and comfortable where I usually live.  It means talking to new people, eating food that was cooked in a firepit, dipping into unfamiliar books, riding a skateboard, climbing the Purple People bridge and climbing out on a limb once in a while.  It means pushing myself into new roles and it means expanding my lifestyle.
Happy New Year Everyone !!
