A long time ago (maybe a year), I took some time to sit and think about what my financial goals were. Although I only had 5, I divided them into 3 different areas: short term, Midterm and Long term. It was my intention to have these goals defined so that when I open up my wallet or think about buying something I can think "hey, does this line up with what my plan in life is?"
Hmmm....
Well, after writing them down I put them in my backpack where I soon forgot them until I realized that I was basically going from check to check. "I need to make these a priority!" I yelled in my head. So thinking I was the smartest person in the world, I set up a reminder in my Google Calendar to send me a copy every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
I still get the messages, and my ultra smart brain knows exactly what to do with them...
DELETE!
For the curious, here are my financial goals:
Short Term:
Always have 10+ dollars in my wallet.
Midterm:
3 Months of income saved away for 'rainy days'
Long Term:
NO DEBT, except mortgage.
Be able to afford a house.
Small side business

Male strippin.. its the only side business idea that would easy enough for us lazy nerds. but that means we gotta get in shape.. unless... you can convince your SO To do webcam shows. that will bring in money twice as fast as male strippin.
ive been trying to angle my SO that way, but she is not only against it, she becomes hostile when i suggest it. you'd think she'd take it as a compliment. right?
