This year I'll be doing the 2012 in 2012. Meaning I'll try to purge 2,012 unwanted items in the year 2012. I would like to read 10 books of my choice.

The series was inspired by my own problem with not having enough cash for Christmas in 2012. The initial promotional offer may have changed, but it’s worth looking into. Were you a high school or college tennis star? Enough was enough and we have since changed our ways of budgeting for Christmas gifts. Consider tutoring.

As I planned my goals for 2012, I realized that I made only one goal for myself in 2011. Running wasn't new to me; I started running (to Dairy Queen) in college and ran my first 5k in my twenties. On May 1, I registered. I learned so much that I hope to apply these lessons to my personal and financial goals for 2012.
