I should be exercising more often; I'm a certified personal trainer. But I work on average 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. There's barely time left to eat and sleep.
Good diet and exercise can go a long way in reducing your health care cost, not to mention the health benefits. Plus if you're sick, you can't work, and that probably affects your income more than any other factor.

I should be exercising more often too. I got a trial membership today but I feel guilty about going when there's other stuff to do.
But. . .on the financial side, I have a business line of credit sitting there that I should work on retiring but it just seems like something always comes up and the money is taken for other things. I can write off the interest. . .but that's still no justification.

I should be doing better financially and saving. Our emergency fund was destroyed (but for a good cause) and I have to build it back up. I need to get my house decluttered and go outside more.

I should rollover my retirement money from when I was teaching in public school so it starts earning interest again.
I should stick to my plan of not setting foot in a grocery store more than once a week (would cut my spending a lot!)

I should be consolidating my accounts to amass funds for a minimum deposit on an account earning 8x what the rinkydink accounts are earning... and putting things I do not love out on eBay.com or half.com or amazon.com or maybe all three...
Holding me back are my inexperience with long-term planning; ADD/chaos and short-term projects at home; and the belief that no one is going to want to buy my "junk."

For those who sometimes need a little kick in the shorts for library books, you might look up an online program called Library Elf. Will send reminders at times you designate if your library participates. Free service, incidently.

I really need to find a good financial advisor.
I NEED to start building a non-retirement investment platform.
I want to max my 401K, but I am keep telling myself if I did I would not have enough to pay the bills. I may not be able to afford the max on both my DH and Mine but I definately could afford to increase it more.

Changing up the light bulbs to incondecent ones..... just don't think about it or when I do see a great sale on them I don't have the $ to spare that week.
Line drying more again, got kinda lazy since the cold weather set in & being pg late in summer & still on a weight restriction makes things a lil difficult. Plus dh hates the basement stink and I only have so much room up here to line dry, but I am trying between all the ...."Mom...........!!!!!" requests.

I need to find a second job. I work a compressed work week and wind up have to much free time on my weekends so I spend to much money. I also need to save more, currently I have a whole $25 in a savings account. Although I do have 25k in my 401k.
