2015 Goals -

- Keep my job, Outside my control as the industry (Coal mining) I'm in is really struggling and is predicted not to see any sort of improvement until 2016.
- If the above happens then I'd really like to keep allocated $2k a month to house renovations which I'll do all myself to keep the costs at an acceptable level. Hiring tradesmen will blow out the costs x 4.
- Maintain an emergency fund of $20k.
- Start saving $1k a month for a new (used) car. My 2nd car a 2001 Hyundai Accent is starting to get a bit tired, I'll keeping saving until I've destroyed the Hyundai I'm hoping to see it last as long as the new tyres do >12 months?
- Stick to the monthly category budgets I've set in YNAB.

Pretty much everything hinges on staying in my job, if I don't well I'll get an okayish payout of $45k, but that won't last long so I'll have to look potentially very far afield to stay employed in the industry I'm in and keep earning the numbers I'd like.
