Someone had to start the annual "what are your goals" post so....
Hello BP,
Someone always starts the annual post of what are your goals this year so I figured I'd give it a go! Thought I'd do a twist on it this year:
1. What goal from 2019 did you FAIL on, and why?
2. What is your new goal for 2020?
I'll start:
1. My 2019 goal was to pay off both cars in my household so that I could afford to finish my house renovation. While I paid down my loans partway, I got distracted, didn't focus, and ended up blowing out my spending budget by about 2X. Ended up in more debt at the end of 2019 than at the start due to credit cards and student loans.
2. My 2020 goal is to finish my renovation, finish paying off my car, and buy another house or preferably multi-unit with at least 25% down.
What's yours?

record my plat on my 89 home subdivision we are in the process of building all the streets and roads on right now.. and go vertical.. and have house closings by Nov. of the year.. right now we have 15 reservations.. which usually about half of those fall off.. go my hopes and prayers are interest rates remain calm people keep moving to Oregon like they have been doing and we can sell 2 to 3 homes a month for the next 30 months..
