I can’t believe I writing this article on Christmast Day (for tomorrow’s post).

I only have 6 more days left of the 2009 year to formulate my plans for next year.  The following are just some random thoughts I’m having:

• The MoneyReasons.com site hasn’t progressed as much visually as I had hoped, so that will be a top priority of the first quarter of 2010.
• I’m thinking of developing a patternized posting format.  Currently (with the exception of a few series I have), I kind of write about what I think of on a day by day basis (kind of like living paycheck to paycheck).  I’ll be going for a more structured approach next year.
• I still haven’t formalized (or organized) my financial plan for the extra money I’ll have at my disposal after our mortgage is paid off in Feb. 2010…  This is something I don’t want to rush in though, after all, this will be a new financial foundation for me.
• I’ve been thinking of changing what I invest in for my kids, but this will take a back seat to my mortgage-free finance planning.  Besides they are in good stuff for now.
• This might sound odd, but I’m excited about starting to get back into shape (diet and exercise) via frugal means.
• I have to post a “Reasons to save Money” post soon.  I feel a bit like a hypocrite not having that list and having a blog called Money Reasons.
• I want to be more socially creative than I am presently.  Writing to this blog (almost) daily, has improved my communications skills (I hope).
• I definitely want to expand the Dividend/Goal Funds I’ve been working on…  See my Lunch Experiment/Spot Budget post for details of one such fund.

Well, back to Christmas for me 🙂
