    Overall the year was great, moved into a new place, I have a great girlfriend, etc.

    Racing this year SUCKED though and I am hoping 2010 will be a little nicer to me.

    Wow at this year for me.

    I was on my way to my best year ever, income-wise. I was $5,000 short of making my 2008 total income when I had to stop working in August. Being out of work for the last five months of the year was NOT cool. The family is all good and healthy, but for the rest of it, 2009 was one bad year. Later, QD.

    It's been an alright year for me. Some bad things have happened, deaths, etc. But luckily, I got a great new job, met a great guy, family life is good and I am definitely going to be starting off 2010 right.

    This has been a tough year for me. No raises at work, lots of cut backs, strugglin financially. But because I worked my ass off this year, 2010 should be great :-)

    Business was way off. Made quite a bit less than years past. However I still can't complain. Other than that it was a great year.

    The year started a bit rocky for me, but got increasingly better as time went on. I got a good score on the MCAT and also had the best semester (grade-wise) of my college career this past semester.

    The year has been up and down for me. Started off the year in alot of financial trouble, but thanks to my wife, all the important bills were paid. Finally got an interview at Lockheed and a job offer in late Jan. I was supposed to start at the end of March, but the start date was pushed back more than 2 months. Started there June 3, and on about June 14th, the wife was laid off from her job. Over the last 2 years, both me and the wife were working at the same time for a total of 2 weeks. To end the year though, wife got a job and started this week, making more money than she was at her previous job, AND with far less stress.

    2010, is definitely looking to be a good year, with 2011 being the probably the best year of our marriage. Unless something horrible happens, we should be completely out of debt, including the house.

    Beginning of the year was okay, then around spring terrible due to my cheating ex. Summer was good, fall was pretty good, and these last two months have been pretty good.

    I'd complain about trivial things but I took a step back and looked at my overall situation in life and I think I'm lucky to be where I am. No debt, I own three cars that run well, I have my family around, two jobs, and I'll be done with my bachelor's degree soon.

    Overall, a 2009 was a good year.

    This past year has had it's ups and downs. Got out of a rediculous, to him was meaningless (cheated on me with my "friend"), relationship... Got through another year at school, and met a pretty amazing [banana] man! Cannot wait to see what this year has in store...

    2009 Was probably the hardest year. No job for the last six months, lost my car, financially strapped, moved home, and I am still jobless. The good thing about 09' though is that I'm still alive, my gf became my fiance and has stuck by me, and I made 2 A's in school and 2 B's. 2010 I am going to make this year change my life. Hope everyone has a great year, no matter what happens work hard and keep your head up. I am gonna make this year good for other people too, so you betta be on the look out.


    Shits real out here. You betta keep a strap and learn somethin'

    Eh... 2009 was decent at best. Had a few ups like getting my racing back on track, starting back to college, finally paid off all my medical bills for my wreck...

    But also had several bad things, went a whole year unemployeed, one of my heros/friends died a few weeks back, as well as several other deaths in the family, spent the entire year in a fairly hardcore money crunch... But the important part is I'm still in good health, and my immediate family are all doing well.

    year was overall good. got back in school after taking a semester off.

    only thing that worried me this year was worrying about work and stuff, but things are picking up rapidly so i'm good!

Three weeks after losing my awesome job I got the letter in the mail saying the Army was calling me back in. So, overall, even though I have been away from my family for most of the year, it has been a good year financially and its been good that Im back in the military as far as my future and stability goes.

    2009 was alright. Economy sucked and still does, had a few medical problems in the family, was in a very bad car accident, etc. But, I'm hoping for a very good '10.
