Re: 2015 Goals/Resolutions/Plans
New Years resolution would be the same as always, try to lose some weight. I did really well during prevnancy of not gaining too much, and then getting that off, and now it's all back plus some.
MM wise my goals for this year are to: 1. Pay off my car (So close! Only $2500 left) 2. Start saving more!! Ideally I'd like to get my personal savings to $2000 and my joint savings to $8000. I have a ways to go on that one but our tax return should help. 3. Finally get our granite countertops. That is a pretty big goal for us that we've been talking about for a year and half now so I'm excited to see if we can get there on top of our other goals.
Life wise: Purge my house. We don't have a lot in our house but I can't stand clutter so I hope to get rid of some stuff. We have 6 bags of clothes to go to goodwill right now. I'd like to finally get my office organized and furnished too. And lastly eat healthier and exercise more. I've been working this goal for a while, so it's not really a resolution more of work in progress.
What are your financial goals for 2015?
We plan to purchase our first home! We have already saved for down payment and closing costs. 2015 we plan to continue saving for all the purchases we will need to make (furniture, repairs, renovations, etc). Three pay periods in January will allow us to pay off DH's student loans! Finally, we want to buy a used/newish SUV in cash. This will probably be upcoming fall.
Do you have any New Year resolutions?
Get to the gym 3 times a week. We fell into a bit of a newlywed slump after our wedding this past April.
Any fun plans?
We want to do a long weekend for our 1 year anniversary (Niagara Falls, Columbus, or Pittsburgh). Another week or long weekend to Nashville in the summer/fall.
Have a bigger emergency fund.

Pay off our debt.
Stay on our financial schedule
