Do you try to plan out your life?
I have somewhat .... to make a time line ....
First thing to get my dental work done.
Then start planning for baby #3
When taxes come back next year I would like to do 3 things
1. Refinance my car
2. But a trailer house
3. Put money away for a vacation
And that’s what I have planned

I have incredibly horrible OCD, that is becoming even more apparent as I get older. That being said, I have to schedule a LOT of things in my life. And if it isn't a schedule, I am making personal deadlines. I like having as much predictability in my life as humanly possible...which is why I despise surprise birthday parties, LOL.

I do plan but many times things just don't work out the way you want them to. So you have to go with the flow.

No,i quit doing it.Everytime i try to plan something it just doesn't work.

HOW do you get enough money back to do all that?

Probably isn't going to buy the trailer house outright. And refinancing a car may not need much out of pocket. None of these things necessarily means "a lot" of money back.

Oh yeah I do a lot of planning and making of list. May not always go by the list though. But as for household bills I am always planning on things, know just how much each regular bill is going to be, How much a month I am going to pay on the house mortgage to get the most our of saving the interest . It was a mortgage for 15 years and I got it in 2014 and I now only have 2 more years to pay it off. I believe in making extra payments a month.

Every person should have a life plan.
And they should set goals with deadlines,
also known as "timetables", to achieve these goals.

Planning has been big all my life and put me in a pretty good position as a result. I have two great kids and both should be done with college in three years (one is trying to get into either Oxford or Cambridge for an internship and post graduate studies). I have a very nice house and automobiles. I am in good health and starting to see some decent gains in my retirement funds. I plan on working for another fifteen years at least and have money save towards both kids weddings. All of this came by way of planning on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, and looking further ahead to where I wanted to be in five, ten and twenty years. I have had steady growth and manage to keep hitting the large percentage of my goals. Knock on wood that my luck keeps on going!

I want to finish my blog. And get through anxiety/depression therapy. It gets better and then all goes to hell.

I like planning.

I guess it's okay to plan things out in your life, but there can also be road blocks, things aren't always an easy road, our lives are already planned out for us, by God, You can try and set goals but things aren't written in stone. Life changes happen every day. I never plan out my day to day activities, whatever happens when I get up, happens, I just thank God he allowed me to wake up.

I have a little of that where I need to know what’s going to happened and all that. I hate last minute changes and find I feel out of control if someone else is controlling the situation

Ive seen trailer homes go for 2000 to 6000 around here.
And I have never refinanced a car but I couldn’t expect it too cost too much.
And this year we only spent $1500 on a vacation

I wish I could do this with my car or even put an extra $10 or $15 on the balance every month

Because my mind won’t allow me just to do I need to plan

I plan for the next day, by leaving a note on my computer.
I have lists for "this week", groceries, bills are organized, and I make sure my account balances.
I always have four or 5 notes on my desk so I don't forget....even taking my daily vitamins, which I tend to forget.
I also schedule everything in the summer and spring around the time I go to garden at my sons, who build me four raised beds to grow my veggies and a place for my flowers.
I have to stay organized. I am not a real orderly person by nature. So, it is notes, notes, notes.

Not really. Anytime I tried to plan things out in the past, said plans always got blown out of the water in months. Sometimes days.

Not everything goes my way either. We were planning on moving into a bigger place when we got taxes back but safer car was more needed

I make lists and write things down in a calendar so I don't forget as I am forgetful.

I'm a planner. I have spreadsheet for everything.

I always have a plan for everything and I always have a back of plan too. Plans often get changed but it is always good to have one. :thumbsup:
