I thought today would be a good day to share my financial goals for 2008. I encourage you to share your goals as well by leaving a comment on this post. I think there is power in setting goals and today is the best day to start setting them.

My Top 5 Financial Goals for 2008

  1. Increase income through blogging to at least $1,000 a month. I hope to increase my income by continuing to blog on my existing blogs as well as two other blogs I plan to start this year. I also hope that my income will increase through a few other online ventures.
  2. Save over $1,000 for emergency fund. We have found that $1,000 is not enough of a cushion. Our cars are getting old and need a lot of repairs
  3. Reduce debt by $5,000. This is going to be a difficult goal to accomplish for us but I think it’s a goal worth setting.
  4. Be more consistent with my budgeting. I am a firm believer in budgeting but truth be told, I sometimes miss a few months of budgeting in a year. Each time I do this I loose focus which usually causes ciaos.
  5. Give more. We regularly give to our church but I want to step up my giving to people in need. I want to have a budgeted section for extra giving.

So these are my goals. Do you have any goals? Please share :)
