Insane Random Ramblings

I’m way behind on my savings goals. I spent most of my cash this year paying for school. Doing that caused me to dip into my savings account as well as use my regular paycheck money. Now I’m trying to think of ways to bring some extra money in. With 1 or 2 classes in the spring, a second job is almost out of the picture. I’m thinking about starting another home based business but I haven’t decided what I want to do yet. I don’t want to open another store because I don’t want to have to worry about inventory.

If I would get my writing together, I could probably do that free-lance. Now I just need to get motivated and start writing.

It’s getting close to that time again. Time for New Year’s resolutions. What about you, do make any? Do you keep them? I try to make some every year. I don’t always keep them though. One of my resolutions was to lose weight this year. I did lose some weight but not as much as I wanted to. I didn’t even have to take any pills or Miracle burn to do it. It was just exercise incorporated into my daily routine.

I also always make a resolution regarding my finances. It’s usually to save a certain amount. In 2007 it was $500. I did save that amount but I have to spend it for school since I blew one of my other resolutions. That’s was to get a B in every class. I didn’t get a very good grade in my class so I have to pay for school with no reimbursement. I didn’t add as much stock to my account as I wanted either. I did buy some more bonds but I miscalculated how much I had so I don’t know if I really met that goal either.

Geeze now that I’m reading through this, I’m getting depressed. It seems like I didn’t meet any of my goals. I guess I need to think of 5 good ones for 2008.
