In fact, one of my favorite things to do at the end of December each year is to set financial goals for the new year. I’m convinced that I’ve had such good luck achieving many of my financial goals because I write them down and keep myself accountable. The most important step is to create realistic goals.

And 2015 is no different. My husband and I make some financial goals at the start of every year. Most of them are related to our small business, my husband’s chiropractic office, but last January I got a bee in my bonnet about debt…thank you, Dave Ramsey. My Themes for 2015: 1. Debt Free Stories.

Did you make 2018 financial goals ? My husband and I discussed some ideas over our holiday break and we decided on 2 solid must-achieve financial goals for the year. If we complete them early, we’ll move on to 2 additional goals that are on our radar. I’ll apply that money to the debt. Restaurants.

As I reflect back to January 2016, I started that year pretty determined to pay off the balance of our non-mortgage debts. We had quite a bit of momentum coming out of 2015 and I never doubted our own abilities. Unfortunately, we did not hit that goal and in part, have made some major changes to our Debt Freedom Plan.
