At the end of every year, I ask myself... am I better off than I was the year before... I'm not talking about a New Year's resolution, but what can you do to make next year even better??

Yes, I do that every year.I know I need to tighten my finances some, so I just went to the bank this week, and my friend that works there helped me get on a better budget system with automatic payroll deduction.I am looking forward to seeing if next year is truly a better year moneywise!

Yep, I do that....and sometimes I get a positive response from me, myself and I and sometimes I get a negative response. I always make a mental note to make Plans B, C and D...LOL for the upcoming years.
Already have looked into more affordable places to live should I have to move [don't want to, but you never know] and how I would handle that...moving costs, packing, credit [rent from private owner now who I was able to negotiate with and trusted me to pay the rent, which I do on time every month - he doesn't care I have past debts on my record that are non housing related]
I just told a friend today, I refuse to stay in worry-mode too long...what will be, will be and as long as I know the options I will be OK..
MERRY CHRISTMAS!..keep the faith, dance like nobody's watching, live like there is no tomorrow and ENJOY yourself...

I can't even remember half of those days. I work one day at a time. Some days are good and some are not so good. I try to make each one a little bit better.

I m grateful for every year, for every lesson learned and for all the blessings I have in my life. I learn more every year, have new experiences, meet new people and I am a very happy person.

Get younger every day -- it's a mistake I've made year after year, and it's time to stop now.

I ask that every year. And I have decided this year to switch careers. Your new expression is nice too.

I accept the bitter as well as the sweet. In most cases, theres not too much you can do about it. Wally's answer pretty well fits my attitude towards the past as well as my outlook for the future.

I just try to be what I am. I don't try to change people, most won't listen anyway, to comfortable being crass and greedy to everyone anyway. I am happy helping those that need help and let you know how much they appreciate it. Makes me feel good inside when that happens. Otherwise I just let people be themselves.
