It’s the post-Christmas pre-New Year’s time of year — the time of year when people start thinking about resolutions and goals, and reflecting back on the previous year. I’m no exception, so a summary of how I did on my goals over this past year follows.

And now for my 2009 goals (and how I did on them). They were:

• Fully fund my Roth IRA – NOT DONE. Not only have I not been sending a whole lot to my Roth, I’ve changed courses and sent more to my Traditional IRA instead (with the notion of converting it to a Roth next year). This is mostly because I didn’t feel like opening yet another account so that I can buy stocks within a Roth IRA. I don’t think the taxes on my earnings will be all that much anyway considering. In total, I’m 60% of the way toward funding my 2009 IRA.

• Look into requirements for opening a SEP IRA – DONE.

• Continue contributions to 401k – DONE

• Purchase 1-4 tax liens – NOT DONE. I didn’t purchase any due to timing issues.

• Double savings in 2009 (at least) – NOT DONE. I went backwards here.

• Purchase stock each month – DONE.

• Purchase treasury bonds if rates are right – DONE.

• Pay a minimum of $35 extra per month toward mortgage, and send additional as well – DONE.

• Continue tracking & evaluating expenditures each month – DONE

• Continue saving each month for vacations and irregular expenses – DONE

• Maintain minimum regular expenses at $1650 or less – REALLY NOT DONE.

• Increase income by at least 150% – NOT DONE, although I have increased my income.

• Increase donations to charity by at least 1% – DONE

• Launch new business – DONE!

• Prioritize future projects and then FOCUS – DONE

• Fill out the 4-Hour Work Week Dreamline worksheet – DONE

• Build up to exercising 3-4 times per week for an hour at a time – HALFWAY DONE

• Practice moderation – Hm, going to go with NOT DONE for this one.

• Try something different every month this year – ALMOST DONE (I did this for all but 2 months, and it was fun. A few of the things I did or tried were: learned to play disc golf, created a banana cake recipe, learned to scuba dive and became a certified open water diver, tried caviar, and did a practice podcast.

• Get a massage at least once a month – DONE (although technically what I got is called Release Point Therapy — and it’s amazing)

• Enjoy fresh flowers in the house at least once a month – ELIMINATED. I had to eliminate this one because our cat enjoyed them a little too much.

Overall I did better than I thought I had, so I’m happy with the results. What about you? What goals were you successful with?
