Goals for 2009

Well I made a goal list for 2009. I'll share a few relevant ones here.

Passive income goal:
My passive income goal is to reach $1500 by the end of the year. In order to do that, all I will have to do is complete my duplex, the house I'm working on right now with a partner, and a house we have scouted, (all which will be done and rented by summer) and then add one more rental or pay off a couple of loans.

Realistically, I could probably do two more in the second half of 2009 and add another $500 and break $2000 passive positive cash flow by the end of 2009, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I don't like making goals which are unattainable, and my current goals I think can easily be met working reasonable hours and maintaining a decent balance in my life.

Strentgh goal:
My strength goal for 2009 is a 900 pound leg press. Last year I acheived 800 and then went into a maintenance routine. I'd like to regain that and then crush a 900 pound leg press this year, and 1000 pounds in 2010. I don't really set upper body strentgh goals because I've had too many injuries, I can't bench press heavy any more without paying the price in shoulder pain afterwards, so I just stick to lower body personal records. If my shoulder improves, I'd like to set some new personal records in upper body, but its unlikely, its been this way for two years now.

Vacation goal:
I haven't taken a vacation since 2006! Even then it was hardly a vacation, my brother got married and we really didn't get much time to see anything or do much besides the wedding. Before that the last vacation I had was a business trip to E3 in 2002, hardly a vacation either. So this year I want to go somewhere, warm and sunny at least for 4-7 days.

Home goal:
I want to finish remodeling my own personal house, (get started is closer to the truth) either to live there and enjoy it, or to sell it and buy a bigger home. Probably the latter.
