No. 30
During the party I attended this Saturday (read about it here), we had an interesting round of discussion. We were 7 of us and during the endless talks, one of the guys came up with an awesome topic to discuss about. You can call it a game or just a chit-chat about yourself.
Here's how the game went!
Each of us had to talk about our goals, wishes or dreams that we wanted to accomplish during the new year that's just round the corner. And the deal - is you could only talk about your goals, wishes, dreams or plans. You cannot talk about a goal, dream, wish or plan that may require someone else's involvement, not even your spouse.
It was kinda interesting thing to talk about. Since there were 3 couples, it was an interesting game to play. My husband did not talk about his wishes, goals, dreams or plans because he doesn't believe in planning. He loves to live this moment and let life take it's course.
When my turn came, here's what I said:
1. Since we are about to hit the 5 year mark as a couple in January 2015, all of my well wishers have been very insistent about my motherhood. My mom has been repeatedly telling me that it's high time.
As soon as I said this, the guy who had proposed this game, pointed out that this goal cannot be included since it is related to my husband as well. I could only talk about my personal goals etc. ;)
2. Second plan I talked about was - my investment plans.
Let me tell you the context behind this goal of mine. Of late, I have realized that I'm spending more than I earn and that I'm wasting money also. Consequently I began reading personal finance blogs since the last 3-4 months to learn how the financially literate manage their money.
Some of these blogs put forth some amazing ways of managing, saving, investing and even earning more money through interest and dividends. I came across some golden advice about how to save money automatically, without any effort to be put in, each month.
In addition, some smart financial experts also offered advice on how to maximize returns, and how to gather more money (by way of investment) with a paltry investment.
All these golden advices led me to believe that despite the huge expenses and inflation, I too can save money in a very simplified manner and that simple investments is the key to a happy and secure financial life.
So, based on these advices, I drew up a financial plan for myself. And I'm determined to accomplish my financial goals early next year.
These were/are my goals for 2015. What are yours? Have you thought about them. By the way would you call these 'new year resolutions'? :)
