One of my first posts on this blog was thinking about my New Year’s resolutions for 2008. I thought I might go back and look at my goals and see where I’m at.
1. I have been reading more, but not as much as I planned. The pull of the internet is too strong, and this is something I still need to work on. I would especially like to start reviewing more books on Free From Money, which could potentially help bring in income from Amazon Associates.
2. My sweet tooth is as strong as ever, but I have stopped getting candy out of the vending machines at work, which has probably saved a few dollars every month. My caffeine addiction is getting weaker, but it’s a tough thing to crack. Teas drinking hasn’t happened.
3. My goal to write more has been on and off, butt it is something I need to do more still.
4. This goal is something I have managed to keep up with. We get out every few weeks, which is free entertainment for us. We also got out for a backpacking trip last month, which was fun but far from free after accounting for the costs of equipment.
5. I volunteered for the trail maintenance crew at Mt. Diablo, but only once. It was okay, but not something I would be excited to do again. Eventually I will look around for more opportunities to volunteer, but for now I need to refocus my efforts into other things.
Overall I’m not too disappointed with my progress. Looking back I wish I had kept up with this blog more, but I still think I’m doing pretty good.
