2012
There are some things in life you just can’t measure. Hence, these not-so-SMART things I want to incorporate into my life this year.
For everything else, there’s MasterCard. Or, you know, actual goals with actual milestones.
ONGOING
- Save 40 per cent of income.
- Keep eating out to $160 a month.
- Donate to charity every month.
- Learn to confidently use full manual settings on my dSLR.
- No new clothing purchases except in dire straits
- Continue running at least once a week.
By the end of 2012, I’m hoping to have saved:
At least $10,000 for one big overseas trip(US / Europe / Around the world – unsure yet, but leaning towards Europe for honeymoon)- At least $3,000 for a South Island roadtrip
- At least $5,000 for a wedding
And the long-term plan…
See here for my very rough up-to-the-age-of-30 plan, which looks something like this:
2013
European honeymoon. Possibly around $10,000.
2014
US road trip, hopefully starting in Vancouver before heading down the west coast, stopping in the South, and up the east coast. Again, possibly around $10,000.
2015
Asia! Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau. Earmarking less than $10,000 for this one.
2016
Save like a beast.
2017
Save like a beast.
2018
Have $50,000 or so ready for a down payment.
Just passing by.Btw, your website have great content!
As long as no one else falls on your plants that should be doable too:).
I think they are sensible and SMART goals. I have just started donating to GreenPeace for $15 a month. I thought it wasn’t so bad to part with that amount if it means supporting mother Earth 🙂
Great goals. I kinda have similiar ones myself although I have been neglecting them. Good luck!
