  • The Plan 2019 to 2024

    March 31, 2019

    In early January 2019 I turned 45 years old and later that month my youngest niece Erin commenced high school, both events got me focusing on creating some short, medium and long term future goals.

    I decided to set goals into short term (12-15 months), medium term (3 years) and long term (6 years). The long term timeframe is being set by Erin’s expected finish in high school and the possible time between high school and University or joining the workforce. The short term timeframe is set on the wedding of my oldest nephew Andrew and my niece Danelle set for Friday 6 March 2019.

    I decided to group these goals into four board groups;

    1. Health; and
    2. Travel; and
    3. Financial wellbeing
    4. Other
