We're Back

on Wednesday, January 21, 2009

We went out of town the last week due to a family funeral. Granted travel is not a cheap thing but S's parents were able to help a bunch. I'll continue my regularly scheduled postings as soon as possible.

Happy New Year!

So, it's New Year's Day. I'm not going to be updating my net worth today as it's a holiday and not all of my accounts have been updated to include the interest yet.

Everyone is making New Year's Resolutions today and I'm not different. I have been thinking about them lately and wondering what goals would be attainable this year. It has been rather difficult to say precisely how much money I want in each account by the end of the year and how much debt I want paid off. My next post will include my finance as well as personal goals for 2009!

Happy New Year to all!
