25 Goals for 2013 (August Update)

Our Financial Goals: Paying Off Debt (August 2013)

2012 Goals: December Update

So how did your  goal-setting going for 2012?  December was an overwhelming month for me as I took on way more than I could handle, and ended up burnt out and exhausted.  I could not wait for the holidays to be over and things to return to normal.  I did accomplish almost everything on my […]

25 Goals for 2013

This may be the first time I have ever written down a list of New Year’s Resolutions or Goals.  For me, it always made more sense to do this sort of thing at the beginning of the school year (September 1) rather than the beginning of the calendar year (January 1).  However, since I started […]
