A month ago I was cramming for the "exam," by trying to lose the last of my pregnancy chub. I did manage to lose five pounds, putting me 5 pounds away from pre-pregnancy weight (15 pounds from ultimate goal weight).
Last week, I went to the salon for a hip hair cut and did a little clothes shopping.
Financial Goals: 1. Completed will. (completed, but not signed) 2. Pay off all non mortgage debt. 3. Purchase rental property. 4. 15% of income to retirement funds. (currently 6% while building savings) 5. 3-6 months worth of living expenses in savings. (rebuilding this after home purchase) 6. Pay off mortgages. (depressing)
Personal Goals: 1. Awesome hubby/life partner. 2. Two babies. 3. Eat healthier and reach optimal weight. (15 pounds away) 4. Foster parenting (nearly certified: application submitted, and 3 classes left) 5. Travel: Japan, Europe, Australia
I guess that's enough for now. You'd think I am a major type A personality reading this, but I am so type B. The milestone of turning 30 has turned out to be much more of an event, for me, than I ever imagined. I am guessing it has to do with the fact that my kids are 4 and almost 2, my life has calmed down from the baby phase, and I have plenty of time to think again.
