2011 Goal Post

Well Well Well.

It seems we have hit the 2011 year almost, and well many of my readers will be flying around on jet planes, staying at the playboy mansion, or rocketing off into outer space.  Those that remain can read my little journal.

Lets review from last year… to see if we are making any progress.  And then set some new goals.  I am hitting some goals… so it was  a good year.  The Biggest news of the year, and the most exciting development was my 3rd child being born just a couple of weeks ago..  All other accomplishments pale in regard to this.  Welcome to the world Vivienne… already you rock.

So basically the month of December is a right off (although I did have alright earnings), throw in American thanksgiving, Christmas and new years… and hopefully I can make January better.   Although I will be attempting to keep up at least 25 hours a week of work… you never know.

• 2010 Goals
• 10K a month  This took a while, but I finally crushed it, it was net… so it isn’t as great as it sounds
• Completely pay out Credit Cards – One down 3 to go (this includes Lines of Credit)
• Travel some more with my family
•        I took a hell of a lot of time off this year, it includes weeks of beach time in PEI, a nice CB visit, 2 weeks in Florida, and another weekend with my buddy
• Maybe Buy a House — at least move.. this has been put on hold for the foreseeable future, instead I have made changes to the rental to bring it up to a more happy place
• Try and get a bit more healthy .. this is too vague, new plan for the new year
• Get P. Eng    Yes I accomplished this.. thanks a lot.
