Anyone keeping their resolutions?

Instead of making a few resolutions at the beginning of 2010, I made 12. One for each month. I figure it is probably easier to concentrate on one thing each month and by the end of the year I will have made 12 significant changes.

January's resolution was to do exercises to strengthen my core (back and abs).

Feb. resolution is to begin running again.

Is anyone still keeping their resolutions that they made at the beginning of the year?



So you say you've got a RESOLUTION, well

So do I. First let's visit last year's to see if I did what I set out to do.

Goals of 2007
Start a Roth IRA before tax time (place $500 in) - check plus,
Open a Sharebuilder account and buy stock (invest $50 in an IPO and $50 in a dividend paying company) - check - opened account but chose wiser, less risky investments
Continue saving with my 401K (readjust as necessary 2006 brought in a 17.1% return) - check (2007 saw a return of 19.8%)
Paint and fix up house - ongoing project
Teach dog to catch a frisbee - check - even after Rosie had knee surgery
Learn more about solar energy consider installing on roof (long term project)
Spend more time with friends and family - check, harder to do with babies in the mix, more planning and scheduling involved
Continue sharing ideas with PF bloggers and contribute to the community - check minus


This year here:

Stay tuned for less frequent updates, but better quality posts. I'm abandoning quantity for quality. A longer more thoughtful weekly, biweekly or maybe monthly article will appear (subscribe to the feed...)

Fun experiments: One dollar trust experiment participants I'm testing a few things and will show you a few ways to turn your dollar into many.

Free giveaways: I've been receiving finance books and want to share the knowledge. Anyone interested Contact me (click the tab at the top)

And the cliche resolutions:

Get in better shape
Save more money
Be a better husband
Be a role model
Read the Bible
