What direction will my blog take? Goals and missions…

I’ve finally decided on what specific theme I want my blog to take. I originally decided it would be for everything whether it is what I ate for breakfast, what I did that day, or just generally why my life is so damn exciting. My new theme: my missions and goals for the one, five, and ten years.

I’ve always been interested in finance, mainly just dealing with my own income/expenses. Within the last year I’ve become more interested in actually obtaining knowledge about personal finance, being either tips on reducing spending, websites that give you “points” for participation, what a GIC or RRSP actually is, etc. Through my quest for knowledge, I’ve read many Suze Orman books (although I’ve learned they don’t really apply to me because they’re US based), Personal Finance for Dummies, as well as some blogs like Canadian Dream: Free at 45, which I think is incredible, as well as Canadian Capitalist, which is pretty good as well.

So, while reading a post on joint bank accounts on Canadian Dream (CD), I’ve decided that I want to blog my goals. I’m already somewhat self motivating for these goals, but I figure I have nothing to lose by actually blogging about these goals. At the very least, I’ll have my goals down to look at, and at the very best I’ll have people encouraging me through comments like they do on CD.

I know there are websites that already do this like 43 Things (which I am a member of), I haven’t checked my account there since I signed up. I think this is because the only reason I have to go there is to put down another goal, or see who is encouraging me. I have a reason to come here, because I actually have an investment into this blog. It’s also more personal, and people who give me feedback or encouragement here either actually care, or already know me.

Well, although I feel like continuing to write I’m going to end it here. Why? Because the first goal I’m going to put on my blog is to finish this year off well at school (University of Prince Edward Island). If I’m going to accomplish this goal, I must go to sleep because it’s 11:20PM and I have my dreaded Finance exam tomorrow at 9AM.

Cheers,

David McKenna

P.S. I’ll update this soon (although over the next three days I have 3 exams and 1 final project due) with a little more on who I am, and what my actual goals are. I’ll also try and make my posts prettier by including pictures! I’ll see you all (aka. no one/my imagination) later.
