Every year I publish a handful of goals. I usually meet some and fail at others. Without this roadmap, I would lack the direction I need to achieve anything. Here are my 2025 goals.
- Learn to play an instrument.
- Read one book per month.
- Do something with our mopeds (carryover from 2024).
- Fun Budget: Net Zero.
- Financials: 1) Fully Fund Roth IRA, 2) Add $1,000/mo. to short-term savings account, 3) Add $25,000 to brokerage accounts.
- Lifestyle: Prepare for The Next Chapter.
Learn to Play an Instrument
Who doesn't love music? I have wanted to have a basic understanding of music for years. It's time to exercise my brain more.
Read One Book per Month
I watch too much TV. This too will exercise my brain.
Mopeds
They have been sitting in the backyard and haven't been used in years. Time to dispose or repair.
Fun Budget: Net Zero
A friend of mine introduced me to sweepstakes-based online casinos. It's been slow going, but it's going. Basically, I send in a request for free sweepstakes credits. The site I am using gives me $5 for each request. To make things fun, I want to submit enough entries to completely offset my fun budget. This could even give me the opportunity to take more trips and see more shows. It will allow me to do these things "guilt-free."
Financials
It's straight-forward. Last year I used percentage of income goals. I'm making it even easier in 2025 with three financial goals tied to a dollar amount.
Prepare for the Next Chapter
I'm not ready to discuss this yet, but I am exploring some major changes to shake things up.
