2015 Goal Results

It's been a while since I have written here, so I wanted to write an entry as 2015 closes out.  A year ago, I listed my five goals for 2015.  Here are the results...


Goal #1.  Increase my family's personal net worth by 15%.  Accomplish this through mortgage reduction, retirement assets and personal savings.


Result:  16.0%!

Goal #2.  Reduce our only debt (mortgage) to 25%  loan-to-value ratio (currently at 37.6% at the end of 2014).


Result:    Reduced to 23.2%!

Goal #3.  Focus on GOD by spending time daily in the Bible.

Result:  Used my mornings most days for my daily quiet time.  Needless to say, some times it didn't work out that way.

Goal #4.  Prayerfully consider and take steps towards fostering or adopting a child.  I think it's time we get back on the horse...


Result:  We took a significant step towards a domestic adoption.  We applied to First Families, took Ga-required IMPACT training, got fingerprinted, all medicals done including TB tests and drug screens, pets vaccinated, two terrible rounds of paperwork, and finally got approved for our home-study to start...!


Goal #5.  Read twenty books and track them at malachi-books.blogspot.com.


Result:   I completed thirty-two books and tracked them on the blog.
