My (Tentative) 2009 Goals
I’m starting to get my financial things squared away. I am reaching some agreements with my ex husband about our house and getting as many small obstacles out of the way as I can so that I can press aggressively on toward buying one of the townhomes in a community slightly north of here when I lived when I was first married to my ex. I feel like it is a perfect place for me and my daughter.
Anyway, I am also looking at some of the smaller issues; like what items of furniture that I already own will fit one of the townhomes. What do I want to get rid of or replace or upgrade. I know that I will go ahead and buy a plasma TV that I can put on the wall with a LCD mount. I’ve put of f buying one based solely on the idea of saving money while I can. Even so, it is a “luxury” that won’t actually put me off my budget much and it will get its fair share of use. I’ll probably also replace my formal Victorian sofa with something much more kid-friendly, like a La-Z-Boy sofa. I know they are not massive purchases, but my head has just been in the kid of place where huge expenditures make me happy. I like comfort and security and lots of time with my family.
I would like to say definitively that all of the things I just talked about are solid goals for 2009. Of course, that all depends on what the school district does about salaries and new hires. It’s a tight situation with my job right now. As good as I am in my position, I can only move up if there is room for me to move up. It’s a logical process. Since it is only February, I am going to assume these are my goals for the year. If things change, then I will adapt.
