Was going to list all my goals for 2015, then realised this is a personal finance blog so nobody cares.
So my finance goals for 2015 are:
1. Have $20,000 invested and diversified in the share market by the end of the year.
2. Read more books about finance and investing, specifically: The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley & The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason. Book I am currently reading is The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing by Michael LeBoeuf, will give a review once I'm finished!
3. Enjoy my overseas travel, but not spend so much this time !
4. Find another source of income! Can be anything, from being paid to play footy or being paid to take surveys. Just find a 2nd source of income.
5. Spend less money at the pub :(
Simple & Straight forward goals
Good luck to everyone else in 2015 !

Hey Financial Rookie - love the goals. One comment - I found that goals are much are easier to achieve if they are concrete and trackable.
ReplyDeleteFor example instead of 'spend less money at the pub' say 'spend no more than x per week at the pub'. I found it helps keep your eye on the ball.
But great goals regardless.
Hey 90million that's a good point ! It would definitely keep me in line, I'll edit that in thanks !
