In November, I reviewed the book Health Care on Less than you Think by Fred Brock. I also gave away my copy.
There’s another blogger giving away two copies of the book, so if you are interested, please check out Blueprint for Financial Prosperity for the details. You’ll need to leave a comment over there by January 12.

I’ve never been one for New Year’s Resolutions. I actually do not care for them much because I’ve tried to make them in the past and I just break them. I’d rather start something when I’m mentally ready and just not on a certain date.
But, I’ve never tried setting yearly financial goals. Seeing that I’m already ready to pay off more debt, I guess it can’t hurt to give myself a few goals for the year.
Here we go…
Debt Goal – I would like to pay off at least $12,000 more of our debt in 2007. To account for monthly finance charges, we’ll probably have to pay around $1,100/month to make it happen.
Savings Goal – Since I only have about $121 in a savings account, it might be nice to put a few more dollars in that account. If I can double the balance in 2007 I’d be happy. It’s a start 🙂
Retirement Goal – I will have the ability to contribute to a 401K plan this year. I am excited and I really have no idea what to expect with this. I’m waiting to get paperwork so I can read up on it. I’m on the fence right now with how much to contribute because of our debt.
Extra Money Goal – I haven’t forgotten about eBay. I still want to sell a lot of our stuff on there to make some cash to go towards our debt reduction. I also want to reduce clutter in our house 😉
Personal Goal – I’m not going to set a specific poundage to this one, but I would like to lose some weight this year. I just want to have more energy and be able to do more things. I’m hoping my Elliptial will help.
That’s it for now 🙂
Happy New Year!
