Revised 2008 Goals

Spring has arrived, birds are singing... I thought there could be no better time to take a look at my 2008 goals and make some changes if any necessary.
I will feel really really good if I can accomplish,
* Reduce my CC debt to $15, 500 by December 2008
* Pass at least 2 parts of CPA exam
* Change my current job
* Run 5K
* EF $1,000
* Start Retirement saving plan
* Reduce $5,000 IRS debt to $3,000
* Pick a charity and start donating $10 (that's all I can afford) every month
* Lose 10lb. I am currently 120lb my ideal weight is 110lb.
My goals seem reasoable and attainable to me,as I said If I can accomplish every one of them, It will boost my self confidence quite a bit for 2009!
