Goals for 2012

So, its almost a new year, and I have a new set of goals!

1. Save $5,000.  This is going to be tough.  But I'm hoping by focusing more on being frugal and using coupons, I will be able to do this.

2.  Read 12 books.  I think this will be an easy goal to achieve.  I love to read.  I have my first book all picked out already that I got for Christmas.  I'll take a picture of it for you next year.

3. Lose 5 pounds.  Yes, just 5.  Do I need to lose more?  Yes, like 100x that much.  But, 5 pounds is a small, attainable goal.  I thought I could do small.

4. Menu plan/chore plan.  Need I say more?

5. Donate $500 worth of money or items to charity.  I like to donate to our local wildlife shelter (OWLS http://owlsonline.squarespace.com/ ), to the local homeless shelter/food pantry (http://rcsnewbern.com/), and to a local organization called PAWS that has a thrift store that they use to try and raise money for a no kill shelter.

I'll try and keep you all updated on how attaining my goals is coming throughout the next year.  What are your goals for the new year?
