Making Financial New Year's Resolutions

Pay off my consumer debt

My number one financial resolution is to finally pay off my consumer debt (and not fall back into it). With any luck, I should actually be done paying off my cards and dental loan within the next two months.

My number two financial resolution is to MOVE OUT OF NYC! Unless I find a job that pays like 100,000, I really can't afford to live in this city AND start repaying my student loans.

Resolution Shootout Facebook

This year I am using my Facebook page in a bid to keep my new years resolutions. I figure that if I'm held accountable by friends and family then I'll be less likely to cheat. Well that's the plan anyway!!

I've decided to use the free Facebook app Resolution Shootout which allows my friend to monitor my progress and point out any resolutions I may not be sticking too. The great bit is that I get to do the same for them, with any luck my competitive nature will force me to stick with it!
