Real change takes time and happens right before your eyes when you don't even realize it.

Some people have 5 year plans for finances, goals, etc.

I am painfully aware that not everyone gets the luxury of 5 years.

I have created a one year plan, it has nothing to do with "getting ahead"

This year, and every year I am blessed with, I want to do at least three things that make me happy, that is purely for fun, and just for me.

This year
I am getting a full sleeve on my right arm.
Solo trip to Costa Rica
Learn, or begin to learn, everything I ever wanted to know. I will be busy reading, creating, and building.

There is an old Irish proverb. "Do not complain about getting old. Some people are not afforded the luxury."

1. Question?

What would your three things be. That make you happy. That may not be practical or fit into the "big picture", but that you REALLY want by next March?
