Blogging Away Debt Our Journeys to a Debt-Free Life

by Hope

I can’t believe the 20’s start in just a few short hours. People says 20’s and I think flappers and cigarette holders, jazz music and lots of change. Of course, it was also the start of the Great Depression and the decade that my Grandmother was born.

I wonder what this decade will bring. There’s certainly an air of change around here. (Yes, I’m beginning to realize that I sound a bit like a broken record as I talk about all the change coming.)

Goals for 2020

But I have set up some measurable goals for myself this coming year and I thought I would share a few of them:

Financial –

1. Build my EF to a solid $20,000
2. Save for a 2021 family vacation
3. Pay off at least a 1/3 of my student loans
4. Budget for Christmas and Princess’ senior year

Personal –

1. Dedicate non-computer time daily for reading and self-improvement
2. Create and stick to an exercises plan
3. Continue with my weekly meal planning and tighten up my food budget

Business –

1. Expand my passive income efforts

There are lots more. All measurable and doable. I have truly spent a great deal of time thinking about how I want my life to change, and what I need to do to get there.

Have you created any 2020 goals? Are you a believer in new years resolutions? If you do have new goals…I’d love to hear about them. How will you stay motivated to stay on track in reaching them?
