In previous years, I would create a long list of financial goals, only to have little accomplished by the end of the December. I almost stopped writing goals down altogether. In 2018, we decided to focus on just 2 main financial goals and before I share my 2019 goals I thought I would give you a recap on 2018.

We are still working through some numbers and there might be some adjustments in the timelines we have given ourselves, but these are our financial priorities for 2012. Our 2012 Financial Goals. Finish Will.

When a building in our town went into foreclosure in 2012, we considered the opportunity to own. We crunched the numbers, spoke with our accountant, and after much deliberation and negotiation, we bought the building that summer. However a few years ago, we found ourselves with too much debt and not enough cash.

You’ll know how much is in your checking and savings accounts and your retirement accounts. My Excel spreadsheet listed our short-term and long-term account balances, our debts, and our short-term and long-term financial goals. There was a time our spreadsheet reflected a lot of debt and not a lot of savings.

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.

On the 25th of every month from January to November in 2013, I'm holding a virtual meeting for the Christmas Savings Club. The goal for this monthly accountability meeting is to give updates on our progress, motivate one another and help all of us save for a cash Christmas. My monthly goal is $100. Stay Strong!

Another Christmas has passed by and while the memory of the Christmas shopping and spending is still lingering in my head, I've come up with a plan for all of us to start saving for 2013. According to a recent survey, Americans were planning to spend on average $854 on Christmas gifts in 2012. I created one on Excel.
