Financial Goals
a) Boost Emergency Fund to $2000
A+ I reached that goal by the end of August and it's now part of a TFSA.
b) RRSP 2010 of $1500
A+ - I reached that goal by the end of September. I went in November to the bank and had this added on to my wee RRSP portfolio.
c) Xmas 2010 $1000
A+ -> I had this saved by the end of June and it was wonderful to have that money in place.
d) Summer 2011 of $1000
B I have just under $600 in this. It is first on my to tackle list for the new year.
e) Pay off Consolidated Loan
A+++ --> this was done at the beginning of April and was now paid off a full year ahead of time. It was an incredible feeling of success.
f) Pay $1500 extra on my Vehicle Loan
A+++ --> Thanks to paying off my consolidated loan early I was able to stream $5400 extra towards my vehicle loan. I am almost, not quite, but almost a year ahead of schedule on payment.I will be excited to see this loan grow smaller.
Ahhh then we hit the sad sad failures.
Personal Goals
a) Go to the gym at least 101 times this year.
F --> holy fail batman. no excuses. bad jolie. very bad jolie. and a waste of money to boot.
b) Read 40 books
C --> I read about 25 ish. I did not count the books I re-read as that doesn't seem quite fair. I guess I don't get to read as much as I used to. Darn work and kids LOL
c) Try 25 new recipes
D --> only about 10. sheer laziness.
d) Cook more with my children
C-->ish . didn't do enough of it.
e) Lose 40 lbs.
Epic F Fail . again. no excuses.

hehehe. You can tell you're a teacher when you mark your 2010 goals with a grading system of A to F. ;)
Happy New Year Jolie!
I'd say you did pretty good Jolie!
But what do those marks average out to?? Amazing how well we do with the financial end of things but no so great at the personal. Makes you wonder...good luck at getting back on track with the weight loss end of things - I am tackling that one too.
your financial goals are absolutely amazing!!!!! so pick up the personals this year :) you have the financials on a roll!
funny that people should comment on the lack of success with personal goals I had the exact same conv. with a guy at work today. I was telling him about my goals and he asked "how do you plan to keep them/ make them happen" I told him I have a great support system through PF bloggers that help to keep me on track because we all help each other. Maybe we should extend this help- to help each other out on our personal goals.
Teacher you are being too hard on yourself, with the personals, we all have areas outside our expertise.
But Holy crap on the financials, your my 2010 blogging super hero.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Overall you did awesome I think!!! I did get a kick out of your grading too... lol! There's always 2011.. onwards & upwards! You'll do amazing i'm sure!
Oh my gosh, the grading is hilarious! I was psyched with the A++++++, but the F? Don't you get some credit for trying? :)!!!
Seriously, I think 2010 was very successful for you! It's true what Makky Mom said, we PF bloggers need to spend a wee bit more time on ourselves....perhaps if we do, it will average out to a B+++++. That would be a great goal to achieve! :)!
LOL I am always hard on myself. Mostly because I know of the successes I've made financially (in my own small ways), and I know I haven't given the same dedication to lil ole moi.
