Wow, where did the year go? 2007 was an eventful year, and overall a really good one. Way back in January, I laid out my goals for the year. Let's see how I did:
Financial: My goal was to increase my net worth to $200,000 from $154,321. Overall, that would have represented an increase of 31%. Well, as of Friday, December 28, my net worth stood at $196,020.73, a 27.02% increase. Technically, I did not reach this goal. Frankly, I'm not too disappointed, as I am still satisfied with my results.
Professional: I aimed to complete the CFP coursework and pass the comprehensive CFP exam. Check!
Spending: I used to maintain a daily expense tracker. My goal was to restart the tracker, and keep myself accountable on a daily basis. This didn't happen.
Non-Financial: Lose the gut! Yikes, long way to go. The weight loss blog has been neglected. The good news? I have lost some weight. I still have a long way to go, but I am about ten pounds lighter than I was a year ago.
There we have it. Not a perfect year, but overall a successful 2007.
I started the year as an avid blogger. As my CFP studies required more of my time, I began to neglect the blog. At times, I thought I was going to close shop. I appreciate those who have stuck with me, and continued to read what I have to say. I don't anticipate that I will become the avid blogger in 2008 that I was a year ago, but I will definitely keep it alive.
Happy New Year to all of you. Best wishes for a safe, happy and successful year.
Some stuff fell to the wayside, but generally you've done pretty well. I hope 2008 is even better. Happy New Year!
