The New Year brings a chance to make a fresh start and improve our lives. 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. The second year, you can be more ambitious with your goals. Keep Yourself Accountable.

Maybe it's the way they sparkle in the night, transforming ordinary buildings and trees into a downright magical spectacle. Visit Berwick & Elysburg this December to witness amazing drive-thru holiday light displays. Or start a new tradition at Knoebels Amusement Resort’s Joy Through the Grove, in its 3rd year.

Happy New Year! Read one non-fiction book a month for either business building or personal enrichment. My husband bought a new camera this past summer and I have yet to watch the instructional video. This past December, I had crafts planned for each day of their holiday vacation. New blinds for the master bedroom.

The journey started in 2012 when we bought an office building for our business and then found ourselves with a lot of debt and not enough cash flow. We ran the numbers of the purchase and they looked great on paper, but paper doesn’t account for a new server, a roof leak, unexpected medical bills, and other calamities.
