2019 Goals

2019 Goals

Family

-Focus on being present in the moment & not being distracted by social media/phones or tv; spending quality time as a family

Financial

-Pile up money to purchase a new car for me (thankful for family to borrow cars in the meantime)

-Build back our emergency fund; we used a big chunk of the EF to make a larger down payment on our new home

-Start throwing more money toward our mortgage balance to knock some years off & interest total

-Use money wisely, thinking about purchases instead of making them with a "just because" attitude; Thought: Will this item make us happier? Will I still be happy I bought this item in six months? Could the money be better used elsewhere?

Professional

-Erin: continue to be the best teacher I can be, but having a good work/home balance as well

-Bret: continue to be a leader and example on the deputy team he works (9Side); adjust sleep schedule to new working schedule to maximize time with family
