ONE MORE MONTH! One more month to get as done as I can be with my 2011 New Year’s Resolutions. Financial goals, I failed you this year.

Here’s the progress report.

Personal Finance

  • Reach $2,000 in my Vietnam fund. As of today, the balance is $1,161.76. I’m at 58% completion.
     
  • Max out my Roth IRA. I contributed $475 for 2011. Uh, only at 9.5% completion.
     
  • Make $3,000 extra income outside my full-time job. As of today I’m at $1808 which translates to 60%.
     

Leisure

  • Complete 10 sewing learning tasks. 5/10. I used a sewing machine for the first time last week and made my dog a bed.
     
  • Publish three food blogs a week. I had almost a 2 month streak! Sadly #NaBloPoMo derailed me in November.
     
  • Try to make 10 Vietnamese recipes. 9/10.
     
     
  • Try to make 10 slow cook recipes. 10/10.
     
  • Visit two new states. Visited three new states!
     
  • Have a new experience once a week. Still going strong. This is almost a cheater goal as I’ve been doing this for 5 years and it has become habit.
     
  • Visit best friend in Boston.
     
  • Take a trip with Alan.
     
  • Leave the country.
     
  • Read 40 books. 40/40. Finished my 40th book last weekend!
     

Relationships and Well-Being

  • Drink 24 oz of water every day. Mostly good.
     
  • Have an active date with a friend twice a month. Have been exceeding twice a month!
     
  • Donate to every sponsorship for charity my friends take part in. So far, so good.
     
  • Start a shared gratitude journal with my little from Big Brothers & Big Sisters of America. Bought the journal but haven’t started. I keep forgetting to do this!
     
  • Run a 5K for charity. I mostly walked but I’m counting it as completed.
