2007 Goals Update

December 29th, 2007

I just came across a list I created earlier this year that had my goals for 2007. I am not exactly sure if they were New Year’s resolutions or just goals I made for myself sometime during the spring. Anyway, I thought I would publish them here and show the progress I have made on each:

Pay off car loan Done. Paid off on 4/25/07 – 16 months early
