2009 is here! I spent last New Year’s at home with friends, but this time we thought we should go out and “enjoy our youth.” Most events around the area were charging $50-$200 for entrance, luckily, we found a bar that had minimal cover. So we headed out to town…

New Year’s is all about the big “R” – Resolutions. For 2009, I’ve mapped out some tentative financial/personal goals that I’d like to accomplish.
One goal (or resolution) that I didn’t put down was to “be more engaged”, with life, I suppose. Is that too vague? In 2008, many times I felt as if I was just going through the motions. Not a good feeling. This year, I hope things will be a little different in that regard.
How was your NYE celebration? Did you make New Year’s Resolutions?
