Well, it’s here, the final countdown to the big day we have all been anticipating; the Superbowl. As far as what team I am rooting for, well, that would be THE PACK!

In fact, I was drinking more than two per night, as well as some rum and eggnogs, mulled wine , and other alcoholic drinks that were wholly unnecessary for my health.

Although I keep records throughout the year, January is the month in which I circle back to make sure I have recorded all income and expenses and filed all receipts. During the year, as we receive any financial information, it is filed in a folder for that institution/account. Set financial goals for the year.

I’m trying to find that balance of staying within a set budget while still eating well. But we have some serious financial goals to hit and the grocery budget is an easy target when it comes to cutting the budget. And while I didn’t hit my goal of $400, I did reduce our spending to $425 for my family of 4.

Stressed out, we ventured into Dave Ramsey’s online Financial Peace University home course for help. Prior to FPU, we thought we were doing well financially and never considered that we had too much debt. We thought we were doing really well.

Every January 1, I get caught up in the hopeful feeling of the upcoming new year. 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.

As I reflect back to January 2016, I started that year pretty determined to pay off the balance of our non-mortgage debts. And we were on a roll in January 2016. Unfortunately, we did not hit that goal and in part, have made some major changes to our Debt Freedom Plan. What are your financial goals for 2017 and beyond?

The company I had worked at for 12 years when I started my journey in January 2013, announced it would be making significant job cuts summer 2013.
