Let's Start the New Year Right

One of the things that I learned through the process of paying off our home in 2012, was that if you set an "impossible" goal, it helps bring other aspects of your life into focus, and it keeps you on track. You might not reach your goal, but if you aim low, you'll hit it every time. I'd rather aim high and do the {happy dance} when all the hard work pays off. Talk about an adrenaline rush! 

So, with the success of last year's financial goal still fresh in our minds, I'm sharing twelve goals that we'll be working on in 2013. Some of them are personal goals, and some are goals that we'll be working towards as a couple. I'm sharing them here because I believe in accountability. Ready?

Would you be interested in a FB accountability group?

  5. As ever, you're inspiring in your commitment to making goals and solidly working towards them throughout the year Carrie! I don't think I have thought that specifically about the year!
