Welcome to a new year,
military-families! We have so much ahead of us to look forward to:
family time to spend, PCSs to plan, houses to buy, vacations to save
for, retirements to plan for, new babies for some and others are sending
our babies off to college (Yes, I would fall into that category). 2012
is going to be a great year!
Did you make any New
Years Resolutions, or I would rather call Personal Goals? How is that
going? My big one this year is to get my home more organized. You can
read more about that journey and steps I am taking on our blog 'Our
Letters to You', a military family blog: Personal Goals.
So far I have stayed on track by taking baby-steps every day. Doing a
little bit here and there every day has had a very positive impact on my
well-being.
Speaking of keeping
Resolutions did you know that Tuesday, January 17th, was 'Ditch the New
Year's Resolution Day'? They can be hard to keep, especially if you set
the bar high without much planning or vague notions of what you want to
achieve. Take a look at what you want to do and see if you can chunk it
down into obtainable goals. Sometimes baby-steps are the way to go.
If your goals for the
year involved personal-finances then I would encourage you to keep
pressing on. Financial Readiness trickles down into every aspect of your
life, from your marriage, to your work life, to looking ahead to your
future. We hope you can find some help in this month's newsletter to
help you keep the pace.

We are really trying hard to work on our financial goals this year. We don't plan on moving anywhere, not having a new baby or anything like that so I hope that will make it easier for us.
