Rejig Goals

November 13th, 2009 at 02:15 am

In a weird way, I feel I have let you all down by my first decision:

Postponement of becoming debt-free from before End of 2009 to before April 2010... well, not so much a choice... I won't have the money to pay off loan before Xmas... so have decided on April.

I like April - In my attempts at setting financial goals for myself in the past, I have chosen April as the review month. It means I can have all my financial plans up-to-date and executed before my birthday in early May. And it means I can keep the Xmas Period and New Years Eve for general family good times and "where am I going with my life" self-reflection instead of messing around with budgets...

So yeah... will be debt-free next April..

Other financial news:

I've decided to give 10% of my monthly salary away each month. The plan is to give:

25 euro to sponsoring a child in Africa.
75 euro to an Irish charity which helps sick children have fun - it's a Hole in the Wall Gang thing - Paul Newman used to be heavily involved.
Finally I'm gonna save 113 into a savings account each month for helping out people I know in need in my local community.

I heard Suze Orman say that in order to receive goodness your hand has to be open.

I'm hoping I'll get a sense of well-being and even wealth from being fortunate enough to give money to others.

From next April, I'm gonna put 15% of Net Income towards Retirement and 35% towards Accommodation savings (this 35% will include Rent I pay now... the difference between my Rent and the 35% will be put into a savings account to pay for future accommodation either as a deposit or as rent to be paid in the future).

Over the last few months, I've been thinking of having a goal of increasing my Net Worth by 10,000 every year. But then I said to myself "why put a limit on it ?". So I'm not gonna to aim for a specific net worth increase every year.

Ala The Secret I've asked the Universe for 100 million euro.... don't know when I'll get it... I realise that if I read this in someone else's blog, I might say "he/she is crazy !"

Well... maybe I am crazy ! AND maybe there's nothing wrong with that ! lol :-)

    Hi. Don't feel you have to apologize, or anyone else, for adjusting your goals. They are your goals and if you feel you need to change them, that is your decision. Here's something that might help you release blocks you have on money, though. I have gone through several of these and they really helped improve my attitude, which is what the Secret says helps us increase our abundance. Margaret Lynch is a professional success coach to business executives and bases her coaching on The Secret and something called tapping. It looks weird, but it works! Well, I tried sending this to you with the exact url, but that didn't work, so here goes. Go to youtube and search for Margaret Lynch.

    I "rejig" mine from time to time. It's good not to be rigid, but to make sure your goals truly fit you and your life at all times.

    Whether you end up with 100 million Euros or not, getting out of debt by April of next year can only lead to good things in the future! It's good to have some insurance that you can revise your goals from time to time, as circumstances and prudence allow. It keeps things fluid and makes it less of a chore, I think. Good luck and enjoy the holidays!
