What about you? What's on your goal list for 2024?
Great goal list!
ReplyDelete1. I have decided I want to staying working part time this year. That is bc of the health insurance. I will be old enough for Medicare in 2025. I will re evaluate in 2025.
2. I want to save $2400 for a couple of round trip nonstop plane tickets out West and the car parking fee at airport.
3. I want to lose ten lbs. and eat two servings a day of greens,
instead of one, like I currently eat. I also want to up my vegetable intake of orange vegetables. I am slightly allergic apparently to raw carrots but do fine with cooked carrots for some reason. I suppose I could do squash or sweet potatoes.
I also count eggplant and cauliflower in the “orange” list although they are not orange…. lol.
4. I want to continue my exercise program
5. I want to do major decluttering, which always seems to be an issue with me. Cindy in the South
Flights are so crazy, so your #2 goal is a good one. I also like your increase of veggies - great goal! I'm also always decluttering!
DeleteI'm not sure what my $ goal is, but we would like to have a better handle on college costs. I will have a freshman in about three years. I thought we were pretty well prepared, but when I run the net price calculators on some of the college websites, I'm a little shocked. It's hard to get a handle on what merit awards may be in a few years too (if any).
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to all of this! Sam has gotten into a variety of schools, and the cost difference between them is staggering! We thought we had a good handle on the costs, but we were mistaken!
