How Has 2017 Turned Out For You?

[gtdoss]

All my years leading up to 1996 were seriously lousy. Don't want to get into all that happened, but let's just say I made a lifetime's worth of horrible decisions. Then, in 1996, everything turned around for me. That was the year I got married to my wonderful husband. In 1997 and 1999, I gave birth to our two fabulous sons. And every year since then has been really great, including 2017!

Absolutely awesome year for me! I hit all but three goals and one of them was only missed by two dollars and thirty five cents. I found new streams of income, increased production at both full time jobs and my part time job, and I see my children more now, that they are at college, then I did when they lived at home. With the kids safely off to school I have begun my honey do list and things are getting done around the house. We are spending less money on the house and more on retirement. We have started fixing up my son's car which was somewhat of a lemon. I have a feeling that he will get my daughter's car, my daughter will get my wife's car and My wife will get a new car...leaving me with my son's car-yet another good reason for fixing it up!

The past 3 years I have lost family members.  But in 2017, everyone is alive and well. For that I'm grateful and consider it to be a very good year.

I had a fire in Feb that completely burned down our garage and damaged half our house.  Pretty much everything was wrecked.  Thankfully we got out with our animals.  Then our contractor turned out to be a crook and quit leaving us 30 days to do a LOT of work before the insurance company quit paying for the apt they put us in.  We had several family and friends that took time off and came up to help us. And it all came out of our pocket. 

After many months of stress and crowding and arguing with adjusters and our contractor and loads of work, we finally got back in here nov 30.  And the garage still isn't done.  And we're in a lawsuit with the contractor. 

So, here's to 2018...may it please be better!

I'm not complaining - things could always be a lot worse and for the most part it's been a pretty simple, satisfying year.  Had an expensive break down with automobile in October - That's an easy recovery.  We have a roof over our heads, healthy hearts and food in our bellies. Jobs are secure. Another child graduating (early) and moving onto adulthood readily.  Found a church. Moving onto 2018.  #Blessed.

It's been challenging, to say the least. I'm worried about next year.

This year has been good & I foresee 2018 being even better (hopefully - crossing my fingers)

I've had the challenging years & just kept onward & upwards thinking, & today I reap the rewards... but take nothing for granted. 

Here's to a positive 2018 for all of us!

Pretty decent.  I'm hoping that 2018 will be even better!

I am so grateful that this was a pretty good year for me. There were some struggles but overall, I am happy and I thank God for that

Well I had a bad breakup in 2016, so 2017 had to be better, and it was.  A lot less stress and drama

[kdemers0]

It wasn't bad, a few really wonderful things happened so I can't hate on it

[timvolley]

i had a good year I hope the new year is better for you

The last 4 years have been the pits for me, but i'm going to leave that all behind and make it a good 2018 if it kills me.

Hubby and I are weird. Ever since 1980, we've had bad luck in "even" years (80, 82, 84, 86, 88 etc.)  and has never stopped. Family members have died in even years, we lost jobs in even years, our home was flooded to the point we had to rebuild higher on a hill, we've been hospitalized in even years for serious surgeries and so on.

I dread 2018. I hope things will be different but I doubt it.

I think 2017 ended up being a good year for me. Celebrated being married for 25 years in California which was a highlight.
