Goal update 1.2.07 and Goal for 2007
Posted by Steve under Goals
Just to recap, this site was originally to track my progress in saving up $45K to fund my around the world trip. That’s still on the table, but this site also contains my musings on money, career, investing, life, etc. All that good stuff. First the goal for the new year.
Working for other people sucks. Period. The weird thing is that I actually kinda, sorta like my job. It’s not so much this job, but the fact that it is still a job. I think I will be unhappy at work as long as I answer to someone else. I’ve only touched on this in the past, but 2007 will be the year that I get on the ball. It’s time to work for myself. I don’t know when it will happen (not likely this year) or how (although I have some ideas) but it’s time to get serious about this. I’d take half of what I’m making now if I could be my own boss.
Here’s just January 1st update for my adventure fund. December was a decent month, but I suspect January will likely be flat or even decrease slightly due to bills from Christmas being due.
Happy New Year everyone!

Hey Steve, Happy New Year!
I’ve started toying with a couple ideas that if they work out will definitely let me be my own boss and let me tell you it scares the living s*** out of me to think I might actually do it. Being my own boss would be amazing, but it takes a lot of commitment.
Good luck in your quest for it.
By the way - looks like you’re making pretty good progress for your around the world trip.

Yeah, things are moving along, but my annual bonus at work was much less than I was expecting. If things move at this pace, I’m not sure if I’ll make my goal. That’s why I need to find other income sources!

Boy, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you are my alter ego with a different blog! Good luck in your search for better living! I’m making my move this year, as well. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
