December: The month where you stop thinking about this year and start thinking about next.
Time to tally up the wins vs. losses. I try to be ambitious, so if I get over 50%, I'll be happy.
Fully fund my emergency fund
It took some last minute miracles and some extra funds that I wasn't counting on, but I have an emergency fund that a financial planner would be proud of.
Tracking: Done
Live by the One In/One Out & Would You Take it to England rules
Overall I'm going to call this a win. I got rid of a lot (although I still have to get rid of more) and I shifted my mindset from that of collector to that of user and give-away-er.
Tracking: Done
Start dressing like an adult
When I started this goal, I thought it would mean all my shirts had collars. But that's not me and that's not the case. However, a much smaller percentage of my shirts have words, band names or cartoon characters on them. I might never look like an adult (clothes-wise) but I think I found a good middle ground.
