Ksquared's Goals for 2009 - Health, Finance, and Personal Growth

Though this list will most definitely be amended along the way, below are our initial goals, broken into three main categories: health, finance, and personal growth.

HEALTH
  • As we both have lost almost 20 lbs. in the last 3 months, our goal is to maintain our current healthy weight
  • According to Kim, I have a cholesterol issue, and since my doctor agrees (as of last November), one of our goals is to bring down my bad cholesterol and increase my good cholesterol (FYI...I have an appointment in the next two weeks to get reevaluated)
  • Eat a healthy home-cooked meal (together) at least five nights a week
  • Maintain and improve current health through good nutrition, a healthy vitamin regimen, and exercise
  • Find a fun, recreational activity that we can do together that will promote fitness and do it as often as possible (like HIKING, people)

FINANCE

  • Have the wedding paid off by the end of 2009
  • Increase household income by at least 50%
  • Continue to pay off credit cards in full every month
  • Save at least $400 every month
  • Donate at least 1% of all income to charity of choice*
  • Be generating at least $500 a month in passive income by the end of 2009
