What plans are you making for 2023. Thought we could share inspiration, ideas and support

I want to take my two kids abroad but I’m nervous about where to go, cost and coping on my own

Lovely idea bettyboo. I want to lose the weight I’ve gained since starting anti depressants and hopefully meet mr Right

 

[Quietpeony]

I love this idea!

My 3 top goals are:
Purchase a small property
Travel with my boyfriend
Visit parents as often as possible (they live abroad)

 

[Some People!]

I don't know if this irrelevant, apols if so, but I thought I'd share....

I do this almost every year: https://yearcompass.com

It's a really nice format to look forward to the new year, and hopefully drill down to a few key issues & goals to work on.
Friends do it too and we do sometimes talk about it through the year which can be really helpful and supportive.

I'm annoyed I didn't print it off at work before finishing for the year

Lose weight/be healthier all round

Save and stop buying things I don’t need

Be more open to new experiences

 

[Rosie glow]

Move house hopefully to a new area and find a job I will enjoy not just put up with I would love to retrain to do something else if possible

I'd rather go back in the closet

For 2023 I want to stop making excuses for myself and just do things, even those that put my out of my comfort zone. Also, to stop spending money on crap I don't need.

 

[Kaylon8083]

I would like to lose 5 stone and be much more healthier and confident.

I would also like to meet someone too.

I’m planning a no spend January to stop me spending money on random stuff I don’t need. I’m also going to save more.

It’s my 40th birthday next year so I would love to visit Amsterdam. This is definitely going to a big thing as I’ve never travelled abroad alone before.

I want to build on what I achieved this year. I lost almost 2 and a half stone - even though I've gained weight back as December just seemed to be one big eating fiasco unfortunately. My jeans are tight and my face is puffed! I want to get as fit as I can and get back to feeling well in my body. My aim for this is the end of March...3 months of effort as April marks a year from when I started my weight loss journey.

I would also love to meet a lovely man. I've been on well over 30 dates this year but nothing has stuck. Surely my luck will turn!

Lastly, I'd love to make some inroads on my career hopes but as I've gotten older I realise health and happiness are far more important so this is very much number three of my three goals.

If I get my figure looking as well as I can and fall in love I will be over the moon.

 

[E_Stevens2000]

1. I want to become healthier and to exercise more.
2. I'd love to start pushing myself out of my comfort zone
3. Meet someone new in the relationship sense (to do that i need to achieve number 2)

I also want to save more money and spend less money on rubbish will definitely have to do this as I shoud be moving into my own place the early part of next year.

Love this thread also parking myself here to read everyone’s responses.
my main goals are to progress in the gym, visit a new country, open a new business.

I know it sounds cliché but I just want to be happy.. it’s been a hard year.

I’m also house hunting so I hope to move around spring - summer.

I’m planning to budget and save harder too.

 

[Saddlesoap]

Save save save. Got a big holiday in September and I've only got 5 months to save 4k.
Might try a no spend January.

 

[Quietpeony]

To everyone thinking of doing a no-spend january, I did it last year and it was so worth it. It makes you start your year right. Also everyone is broke in january so it is actually easier than trying to save later on.

 

[candyland_]

I’d like a no spend January but I already have things pre booked.
I’ll be cutting takeaways down to one a month and stopping the ‘pop in/top up’ shops i do far too often though.

 

[Anotherdayanotherwalk]

Things on my list are
Be healthier - Mr Another had a serious health scare earlier in December and we both really need to sort out our diet and do some exercise
Do some much overdue work on our house - our bathroom is leaking
Not do weekends away / small trips to pay for aforementioned house works
Have a superb holiday though to Italy in the summer

This year I am going to:

- Leave my full time job and work for an agency. This will be a huge drop in wages but I'll have more time for my children.

- Lose weight, I've lost some but have a remaining stone that I cant shift.

- Put more effort into my friendships.

- Be nicer to my husband, I think I sometimes take him for granted.
