Our 2019 Financial Goal. Happy New Year’s 2019: In January 2019, we were down to one final non-mortgage loan, so we created just one financial goal for the year—-to pay off that last non-mortgage debt by December. We can now move on to other financial goals. 1st Update in June 2014.

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. This will take us most of the year.

We started using it in January 2017 and I wrote all about it, so I won’t rehash it all here. She’s a very active kid, and missed swim practice and meets, her holiday band and choral concert, Girl Scout meetings, and holiday parties. She was one bummed out middle schooler, but still handled it like a champ.
