Work
- Build back up vacation days.
- Increase 401(k) contributions with pay increase this summer. I currently contribute 12%, so I'll probably kick it up 1-3%.
Home
- Organize 2007 files for taxes.
- Shred unneeded paperwork.
- Backup 2007 & earlier files.
- Contact Comcast about phone, cable, internet bundle.
- Organize apartment, especially closet.
Money
- Help parents out. My parents were already struggling financially due to some unexpected expenses on top of growing medical bills, and now my dad lost his job. He applied to Lowe's but they already hired someone. He is going to try to find something else. I will continue to help them out. I'm just glad I'm financially in a position to help them out. They've done so much for me.
- Increase Net Worth to $65,000. I think I can reach this no problem, but a little will depend on the stock market and how it effects my 401(k).
- Increase Savings to $30,000.
- Pay off a total of 15% on Student Loans. I have already paid off 9%. I need to pay off approximately $2,352 to reach this goal.

You are going to do great with your 2008 goals.
I am hoping to put myself in a position where I can help out my parents if they need it down the line.
When you give, you get it back. Trust me! You have a good spirit about it!
Thanks! This past year has been hard on our family, so I'm glad I can help out. It's hard when you can't do anything, so I'm glad I can.
I called Comcast yesterday and told them I wanted to downgrade to BASIC cable, from 51.99 to 17.99 a month. He told me he didn't want to lose my business so he lowered the price to 33 a month and my internet economy (broadband) from 24.99 to 14.99 a month. Just ask them to lower the price.
I love you first goal: Build vacation credits back up. I must admit this is also one that I aim for each year, but never think to put down as a goal.
I like how you have main areas of focus separated like that.
I wish you the best in 2008 :-)
You are a good daughter. Also, you are very organized. I'll bet that's the reason for your success.
I will keep good thoughts for your parents and I wish you continued success!
Very good on the goals. Good Luck!
I'm impressed regarding your desire and willingness to help your parents.
I'm sorry they are going through a tough time - I hope they are gracious and accept your assistance.
In the meantime - please remember, Annie is hoping to win that copy of Larry's book!
Oh, to have a kid like you!
Wow! You've got some serious goals for 2008! Good luck reaching them!
I think it's great that you're in a place that you can help your parents. I unfortunately am not able to help my parents. Luckily, they're pretty okay without my help right now.
