A New Year’s Resolution

Posted on January 3, 2008 in Money Matters, Relationship by little mochi

For some reason, making any New Year’s Resolutions is not my thing. To be honest, I don’t think I have ever made one in the past.  Why this year is different, I don’t know.  Perhaps there are just so many changes in my life in 2007 that I just want to make 2008 an awesome year.  So I actually sat down and thought for a few minutes on how to improve my life in 2008.  Although already three days into the new year, here are my four resolutions for 2008:

1. Get Organized!  In an earlier post, I mentioned me getting more and more absent minded.  The fact that my house is a mess, my office is a clutter, there is mail all over the place, laundry that needs to be washed, laundry that needs to be folded, forgotten dates, and all the paperwork left unfiled has left me looking for things such as my keys, my address book, my shoes, etc.  Having our mail all over the house has costed me several hundred dollars in late fees and overdraft fees.  So it would only make sense that I get organized this year.  Using the “new baby” excuse will get old eventually. 

So here’s the plan:

2. Family.  Family is very important to me.  Not just my hubbie and new baby.  But my parents and siblings and cousins and aunts and aunts and second cousins and great aunts and uncles.  Oh, and my in-laws!  Yes, even my in-laws! I have a big family. A really big family.  It’s so big that every time there is a big family gathering (wedding or birthday), there is at least one person among the crowd that I do not know.  It’s so hard to remember everyone’s name and birthdays. 

So here’s the plan:

3. Friends. I have to shamefully admit that I have been bad with keeping in touch with my old friends and classmates.  Some years I’ll send a Christmas Card and some years I won’t.  I rarely send birthday cards.  Heck, I don’t even know or remember some of my friend’s birthdays! 

So here’s the plan:

4. Make Mo’ Money Online. Currently, I’m making a measly $10 / day online.  I want to make more (who doesn’t?).  I am going to make more.  My goal for 2008 is not to double that.  Not triple it either.  I don’t even want to quadruple that.  I want to work towards a goal of making 10 times more than that!  I want to make $100 per day online. 

So here’s the plan:

Well, Year 2008, I hope you’re listening to me because I’m ready for a prolific, successful, and fulfiling year!
