#42 2017 Aims

Review of 2016 aims.

1) I will pay off all of the remaining £7k credit card loan from the wedding. Done.
2) I will put up a fence in our front driveway.  Done.
3) I'm going to start investing for the future. Done.
4) rather contrary to 1 and 3, I will take my family on a holiday abroad in 2016. Done.

I started 2016 £25,202 in debt. I ended it only £7,628 in debt.

Current financial status:

Debt: £7,628
Wealth including Pension: £14,391
Wealth excluding Pension: £310

We have very little in rainy day savings. Very little invested for growth. And no will.

We are 90% of the way through a house move which will tie us to an expensive mortgage for the next 5 years.

Aims for 2017:

Financial:

  1. Pay off the remaining £7,628 of debt.
  2. Increase wealth excluding Pension to £3000
  3. Overpay on the mortgage by £600. Equivalent to £50 per month.
To do:
  1. Get a will for the family.
  2. Complete one item from my bucket list
Physical:
  1. Get weight to below 14st
  2. Run 13.1k without stopping (half marathon distance)
