I did pretty good meeting my goals in 2016. Thanks to an article in the mystery shopper magazine, I focused more on straight income and less on reimbursements. With the income, I was able to pay for my dream vacation to Venice (note, airfare was using points not mystery shopping). I did use reimbursements for things that I wanted like car maintenance, dinners out with family, and Christmas gifts for grandkids.
In 2017 my goals are to
1) Save towards funding a 2018 vacation overseas
2) Enjoy a fine dining experience at least once or twice a month with a close family member
3) Support my granddaughters pet
4) Continue training my granddaughter to become a mystery shopper next year
5) Do more with less effort, staying at home, such as my upcoming Managed Account project
6) Make more friends
I look forward to and feel that I can accomplish each of these goals and am flexible enough to change them if a situation arises.
