The thing that I might tweak is the following: * Make the goals measurable. For your money saving goal, you might change it to read that you are going to save XX% of your salary. Or be more specific in saying that you want to save $250 @ month. * Be measurable. When is it that you want to get to that level of saving? * Be incremental. Sometimes eating the whole elephant in one bite is too daunting. So make mileposts along the way. Staring in January, I am going to start saving $75 @ month. By April, I will be saving a minimum of $125. August $200 @ month and by November be reaching my goal of $250. Those mini goals along the way have a way of re-energizing you on the path to the ultimate goal. Have a happy and productive New Year!
