Title: Winding down with 2016
Post by: camellia0 on December 18, 2016, 07:06:40 pm
 How many of you are looking forward to 2017? This year wasn't that bad for me, but I definitely want to see good changes.

I think January 1st is always a good time to start over and reflect on what went right the year before and what could have gone better.

I don't look forward to new years, since it's highly doubtful it'll be any better than the last one. I can't wait for spring though; this winter is already brutal, and we haven't even gotten  half-way through.

I didn't realize Christmas was this weekend.  I thought it was two weeks away so now I'm rushing to get things done and plus prepare for a cruise the first week of January.

I am hopeful that in 2017 my husband and I will be better off financially. I'm looking forward to paying down this debt and becoming financially free.

In my opinion 2016 was a disaster (not my personal life, but politics etc wise). I hope 2017 will be better :)

I only see more disappointment for us in 2017. Already, the government has been so kind They gave us a COLA raise only for Medicare to take the exact same amount away, so no raise for me. COLA is a sick joke. Doesn't matter anyway. I never see a penny. it stays in the bank for the bills.

Because of the healthcare mess, our prescription care costs went $100 more and our medical supplement (which is needed on top of Medicare) went up $200. So any COLA wouldn't even cover that and hubby's SS will be less because of those costs.

We were living on $900 a month this year for everything including groceries so 2017 will be even less. I cut back my grocery bill to $150 every 2-3 months. I used to spend that much every month.  Now I guess I'll have to cut back even more. Thank heavens for coupons and big, big sales so I can get buy...but meat and fish are beginning to be a luxury.

2016 was a mixture of good & bad for me. Much as I hope for better in 2017, the forecast looks to be much the same for me.

Can't wait for 2017! So much to look forward to after what was a bit of a rough 2016.

Well, 2016 was definitely an interesting year for me. It was the year I moved to a new state, got a new job, got engaged, and made many new memories. But I am ready for 2017. This year, me and my fiance will be getting our own apartment around June, and then we will be getting married in November. I will most likely be going back to school as well to finish my Bachelor's Degree. So I am excited for all thrights changes the new year is going to bring!

I am not hopeful for a better year, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. 2016 has been absolutely the worst year of my life and has ended with a bang, literally a car accident that now has me on bed rest.

I hope 2017 gets better. I cant do another 2016 type year!

I am always excited to begin a new year. I took the last two weeks of 2016 off from my day job for vacation time that need to be used. I still needed to tie up a few lose ends and ended up working two and a half days and will need to work another hour on report revisions tomorrow which is kind of a bummer. I was able to work extra hours at my night time/weekend job and will have a nice pay slip from them a week from tomorrow. I have my 2017 goal in rough draft and will be finalizing those over the next day or two. Over all the year was a success because I met, and exceeded, all of my goals. If I am able to repeat this next year I shall be doing quite well. I do need to start cutting back the number of hours that I work at my salaried day-time job.

2016 has been such an awful year for me too. I lost an uncle and pet, felt disturbed about so many deaths mentioned  in the news, and I couldn't enhance my reasoning skills comfortably. I fainted continually because of the struggle.

I'm not putting my hopes up, but I pray it'll get better this year.
