To budget and keep track of spending.

Never balanced a checkbook in my life. And I used to be a former banker. 😀

Balancing a checkbook is overrated. Spent hours looking for a few cents. Have totaled recently but not reconciled with bank in over a year. Probably since I now purchase everything with a credit card (rewards FTW 😀) and pay mostly ONE payment per month with a few other's thrown in (utilities, etc. that are paid automatically).

A budget, even hand written, is a good choice. I have kept a weekly budget (usually 6 months in advance) for about 10 years and it's always kept me from trouble! 😀

Good choice! :thumbsup:
 
Lose weight, quit drinking, quit smoking, stop chewing finger nails, eat better, no fast food, make better use of my time, sleep less, manage money better, no more soda. I think that is about it.

I figure set a few bars high and maybe I'll at least improve on some things a little.
 
I'd like to spend 90% less time reading forums, write a book or two, learn to play the piano and how to play the guitar correctly, and also try to graduate with a 4 year degree a semester early. We'll see 😛
 
1. graduate from college magna cum laude (one semester to go)

2. get into all grad schools i apply to

3. get a cool summer internship

4. get stronger (i'd like to bench 150, right now i top out around 85, yep i know i'm weak, runners build))

somebody should bump this thread at this time next year

Fitness:
Continue playing soccer, increasing my skill.
Bench Press 225 for my working sets.
Gain 1 inch on my arms.
After current bulk, cut down to 12% fat.

 
Stop working out, gain weight, work more, see less of my family, drink lots of alcohol and lose my life savings on a single spin of roulette (put it all on #53!).

I like to pick resolutions that I know I can keep.
 
Make my new business work so I don't have to go back to working for someone doing a job that I hate, regardless of what they pay me.

/edit oh yeah I should also do a better job of budgeting my money instead of buying all of this useless crap.
 
I, Sandorski, hereby resolve to return 1 year hence and make a new New Years Resolution!

Let it be posted, let it be done!

Well last year my resolution was to lose 25lbs and so far I've lost 20lbs. For this year I just want to drop another 5 and continue eating better and working out. Also I need to get a better handle on our finances.
