Mid-year Goals for 2011

So, I decided to set some mid-year goals in the month of June.
For the sake of actually reaching any of my so called mid-year goals, let's review them on September 30th :)
I have a feeling if I just put it out on paper (or rather blogger!), I might actually have a tiny chance of meeting them.

Financial Goals
Build an Emergency fund of 20K
Build a Travel Fund of 15 K
Build a Gift Fund of 10K (yeah, and I know that this gift fund won't last me even one month with the number of people I gift.)
Build a Fun Fund of 12 K (I never got around to buying  at least one of my fav gadgets, even the low end ones.  My macbook does not count.)
Stop lending money to people who won't pay you back.
Get rid a big chunk of any outstanding debt (part of the student loan, money borrowed from parents etc) - Let's say 40K

Professional Goals
Change you job/Try to find an on-site opportunity/ Try to change fields.
Practice a new language (How long has it been since I practiced my basic French).
Learn a new tool thoroughly. You know you have the time. The tool is Omniture Insight. (You took the first step. Now learn)

Personal Goals
Take a vacation. Plan perfectly. Know how to have fun. Learn how not to lose your head if things don't go at your pace on a vacation.
Stick to a vegetarian diet.
Do some yoga at least 3 times a week (Please! look at your tummy for inspiration!)
Shop only for timeless pieces. Don't buy every stupid dress and piece of jewellery you see.
Get your left earlobe stitched. Long pending. Though people don't notice the tiny elongation, let's just fix it.
Think about MBA. Outline a plan by July.
