Goals for 2007

December 5th, 2006 at 04:45 pm

1. Control expenses and make sure total is at or below budgeted amounts for category/month, any �leftovers� in categories will go towards debt!

2. Continue to lower my overall debt - I started Jan 05 with ~$17K and Jan 06 with $~11K (with ~$8K for a loan and ~$3K in cc debt)... finished Dec 06 with �. Expect to pay about $5K this year- not counting interest!

3. Start my own business� formally*: E-Spiral is the name, translation is our business (G-d and Ale are my partners!)� and contact at least 4 new potential customers per month, so as to find 50 pages of translations per month in 1 Q07, getting to 150 in 4Q07�. From Jan � July: 40% of each job will go towards debt, 40% back into the business, 10% into savings (to fund my Freedom Fund!) and 10% to the Padre Vito Guarato Home. From Aug-Dec 07 percentages to be 30,40,20,10 �.hopefully, I�ll be able to quit my current job by mid 2008!! �(did I just type that??)

4. Help Ale earn/save $25 for her savings account by 071231!

*Wow�putting that in writing was scary!...I guess this is that famous first step in the journey of 1,000 miles!

I need to set down and make written goals for this year. Putting it in print is a scary but important step in getting there. Good for you! I'll let you know when I get brave enough....
