I have nothing in place right now, which is foolish, considering I'm approaching 40. I actually think I need to get a will.

If I make a huge list, then I get overwhelmed! Good luck with your goals! Kristen: I’m the same way with targeted goal setting – one or two, then move on.

My goal is to stop dining out for lunch so much. I've gotten pretty lazy about not packing a lunch on most days. I think I could save a lot of money if I really scale back. Once I find out if I'm getting a raise/bonus and how much it is going to be I'll develop a second goal as to how to direct that money. I don't want to make a plan until I know what I'm going to have to work with. I find if I have a huge list of goals I get totally overwhelmed and end up not meeting any of them. I would rather set one or two and actually have a chance of being successful. I only have one financial goal right now. My goal is to stop dining out for lunch so much.

We prepared a will last year, but have yet to get around to putting the final stamp on it to put it in force. Let me know if you need any information for your life insurance research or would be interested in any quotes or an interview if you write an article about your life insurance search. Even if you don't like my material I could point you to a couple of other really good/knowledgeable life insurance bloggers. Yeah.

I can't complete a huge list, nor do I want to. So long as I take care of the biggies, everything else should fall in line. :) Thanks, Doctor S. I can’t complete a huge list, nor do I want to.

You kept it simple and you prioritized to what you deemed "essential" for the year. That is the important part if you plan on actually completing your goals for 2009. Most people just make goals to make them, glad to see you have your year in perspective. I have no doubts you will be successful and accomplish even more than you expected!!!
