2024 new goals

It is time to identify some new goals for the new year. The past year was particularly challenging and I am pleased with how it went. Among the biggest goals was to move out on my own, and I succeeded, without downsizing my PAC. This year I want to stay a little lighter and stabilize my situation better.

1. Increase Revenue

Not because I am dissatisfied with the increase from the previous year, on the contrary. But I think it’s right that this remains a fixed goal.

2. Keep the Portfolio Well Balanced

I still need to fine-tune some rebalancing, and I need to make a very specific reasoning about cryptocurrencies because I don’t yet have an exit strategy. But I will probably make a separate post about this.

3. Maintain the Same Investment Percentage in the SIP

This is actually a downgrade in terms of savings because continuing to contribute the same amount of money to the SIP while having increased income (and assuming further increases) means saving less. This is actually intentional and I will explain in the future why and what I intend to do with that extra money.

4. Trying new experiences

It’s not that I didn’t travel last year, on the contrary, but I would like to try something different. Find a very cheap flight, and leave with a backpack, my laptop, and spend a few days away with a zero budget. A bit of adventure, in short. I also have in mind to go camping with my motorcycle, it’s something that really appeals to me. Just me, my motorbike, a tent and maybe someone special.

5. Getting back into shape

This year there is no messing around. I want to be fit again. I don’t claim to have a physique like when I was training 4 days a week and eating only protein, but something in between. I want to train 3 times a week and watch what I eat, and reach 73Kg.

6. Solo travel

I would like to take a solo trip, or perhaps more than one. Far away by plane or with my motorcycle. Just me and myself.
