QOTD 1/1

Hi, Everyone, hope you all had a safe and happy new year. Todays question - what are your personal and/or relationship goals for 2009?

FH and I are going on a debt diet! Since we have a wedding to pay for, our goal is to save enough money and be able to pay for it without dipping into what we have saved already. And stop using credit cards. Although we don't have a ton of credit card debt. I find it nearly impossible to save while using the cards because you're arent as conscientous of what you're spending. We wrote down all of our monthly expenses and made a budget for extras and if we stick with it, we will be have way more than what we need when wedding time comes around. If we can't do this then I don't know what to say about us lol

Personal goal is to eat healthier, excersise more, and find some new hobbies to relieve my stress, maybe start painting and drawing again...

Relationship goals: just to save money for the wedding

Personal goals: get to the gym more and have a hott bride body!

personal goal: lose 40lbs by end of april. keep up kickboxing and dieting to do it!

relationship goal: continue learning and growing together i think, we've come a long way together but there's always more room for improvement =) that and save more money together

We were able to pay off all credit card debt last year, this year we made a budget and will put a good amount into savings every month for a down payment on a house.

I really want to get into a regular excersie routine, and get back into WW.

BTW - FH is going back to school!! So that's a great personal goal for him

Relationship goal - save money and get FH in shape (the doc told him he needs to lose 30 pounds!)

Personal goal - none

i agree on all counts. and i have to try to be less of a nag...

relationship goal: afford the wedding

Personal goal: lose 30 pounds befor the wedding lol

Relationship goal: Get out of the horrendous debt we are in and try to save as much money as we can for our wedding. (also we will try not to break any more bones/tear cartilidge as we have regularly been doing this past year)

Personal goal: Start working out more, tone up and try to get back into shape (Gotta look hot on the wedding day!!) Also would like to be more careful with my spending this year, no more impulse shopping that I love so dearly

relationship goal: save more money for the wedding

personal goal: lose weight and keep it off, stop shopping

My personal goal is to save more money for wedding and a home to try and book the rest of my vendors in 09, clear up some debt, and to stop stressing the small stuff.

My relationship goal is to communicate better (you can never get to good at that, lol).

Now that I think about it, my personal and relationship are kinda intertwined. They both work for personal and relationship.

relationship goal: we need to both find better jobs (that we enjoy more and get paid more)....pay off debt...get an apartment...pay for the wedding

personal: definately getting into shape

personal: love myself more. be a better person overall. take grad school classes.

relationship: appreciate everything that FH does for me because at times i might not show it! (like if i am in a pissy mood). also- save up and plan our wedding. go on a few vacations together this year!

me too! and i need to not complain so much!

I'm in the Nagging Future Wives Club too. I heard my friend do it with her fiancee and it just sounded so RUDE. It stopped me in my tracks, it did... I never realized I sounded like THAT.

I need to lose about 20-30 lbs and get more toned. I am going to be the hottest March 20, 2010 bride EVER. FH graduates with his Bachelors in May, so he's looking for better employment. We're trying to save like the dickens for a house AND a wedding... it's rough, but we'll make it. I am going to try to be a better partner. I have a slight it's ALL ABOUT ME attitude... and it's time I listened and wasn't so judge-y judge-y. I've got a crazy judgmental streak.. it's not attractive.

relationship goals-to be less nit picky with each other and to SAVE SAVE SAVE!!! (broke that one already when I bought the wii fit with accesories!)

personal goal-get a job after my graduation. and get healthy!
