2010 Resolutions
Looking back at my 2009 Resolutions, I'm rather pleased that I was quite close to targets.
#1 - I've def found Mr Right and it's been 8 months. I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life with him, hopefully the seal will come soon! :)
#2. Didn't quite manage to exercise once a week for the whole year but I did complete a half marathon in August in a very satisfactory time.
#3. Managed to keep to my monthly fixed savings for the most part and at the moment, the entire AWS still sits inside that untouchable account. Am pleased although i'm a couple of K short, this is the most amount of cash savings I've had.
Time to make those 2010 resolutions...
#1. Save another 10K, hopefully my total cash will exceed 20K at end of year.
It's pathetic in comparison to others but it is a lot for me! Fixed salaried workers like me is sad. I wonder if I can get a pay raise then that amount can add on to my current mthly $. Hmm... at least 200 bux increment? Hopefully, if not I am seriously considering changing to a sales job. I need that cash amount for a down deposit for a flat, which I hope will come to light end of the year. A total down deposit of about 50k is required for a four br hdb, why is housing so exp in sg??? I don't wish to cash out my ILP so soon, think I had it for about 3 or 4 years now, thanks to jh. Maturity date is when I'm 30.
#2. & #3 - to be thought about again...
2009 Resolutions
Inspired by my colleague, i've decided to set my resolutions for the year.
1) Find and keep Mr Right.
I don't want another half year relationship. :(
2) Continue to be healthy and active
Exercise AT LEAST once a week, either my regular 5km run or 30 laps swim or 2hr blading sessions.
3) Save 10K in cash
I will need to up my monthly savings amt and surrender my entire AWS. Can I make it?
Point no.3 is the most difficult, knowing how bad I'm with money. And with the next holiday coming up end of the month, i must make sure I only spend my savings for Jan. If i save my allowance for each biz trip, I can make it!
Point no.1, dependent on luck and fate. I'm taking things slow now, we don't want to commit yet. I think we both want this to happen, and to take off on steady ground. Haven't felt so strongly and such a strong connection with someone for very very long. I acknowledge now that last yr's rship was rather out of desperation to break the 2-yr singlehood spell. So I don't want to go into another relationship before I know for sure that he's the one. :)
