In a nutshell, my goals for 2007 are to use it up, wear it out, or do without. And to be healthier.

Here are mine
To be one with the universe
Be kinder to other people
Quit smoking..yeah yeah...for those of you wanting to quit smoking, I quit for 3 years by the sign in the farmers almanac...this first sign of this year is January 6th. I started smoking again when my 1st hubby passed away. So that is my day to quit....cold turkey...
Tithe more to my church and be thankful for what I have.
Be a better more understanding wife, mother and friend..sappy I know.
Continue being a member of this forum. I have tried others and I am sure I have found a home here.
Good luck to everyone here with their resolutions....Blessings...Kathy

Resolutions:

OUt of debt by the end of the year---other than the house. Completely doable.

Lose weight. I would like to get down to 100 lbs. I know that sounds shockingly small, but I'm not even 5 foot tall so any weight I put on is very noticeable.

Love my husband, baby, and self more and more everyday./

I ended up posting my goals over in the "Goals and Dreams" forum. No need to duplicate them. Basically set goals in financial, personal, home, spiritual, intellectual, health and social arenas. My final tally was 11 pages long of goals/subgoals/steps. I only posted a very brief overview. I'm not cluttering up the board with them!

Here are my '07 Goals

1. Put God first place in my life with tithing and devotions and trusting him with my life and future plans.

2. Generate more income, even if it means a new job.

3. Pay off at least 12,000 in debt.

4. No cc use- No dollar store shopping-No buying junk I don't need or will use.

5. Lose 65lb. exercise at least 3x's week. Eat real food- No frankenfoods!

Work on that debt -- I want my c.c debt gone. I know I can get Art Van paid off with my tax refund and then add whatever is left towards the other debt. I'm snowballing and I believe I can get #1&2 paid off within 6-8 months.

Mine are:
Get a full time job.
Save for a move to that job. (buy a house)
Pay off student loan #1 ($1100 to go!)
Pay off loan to family member ($2000)
Keep budgeting monthly and get better at it.
Go to Curves 2-4 times per week and walk 2-4 times per week (4 days of exercise)
