My resolution is to breathe more air this year than last year.

To care more about myself. Spent the past few years caught up in the rat-race and spent no time focusing on myself. Hoping to try and take more time off and focus on developing as a person and not just my career.

"Monozilla" train BJJ once a week, play solo guitar in a band, squat 2.5x body weight, and read 10-20 books.

BJJ 1x / Wk is weak bro, step that up to a few more days

1.) Get a new job in my hometown where my family is since I am expecting a son in the summer (family support will help tremendously in the first 2-3 years). 2.) Pass CFA level II (idk how plausible this is, see (1.)) 3.) Move in with my girlfriend 4.) Savings account goal 5.) Be a nicer and more helpful person in general 6.) Get back in the gym, I'm way too skinny

Woah congrats on the son Bob (is bob your real name? do you really bake?)

I take back everything mean I have ever said, also congrats again on the son!

Being a father sounds awesome man you are real lucky!

 

Not sure of your current programming skill set and level, but I'd check out datacamp if you're interested in either R or Python. I can't speak to their Python courses, but their R modules have been well worth the money.

 

Hit the gym, gain more muscle mass. Read 7-8 books. Learn some new food recipes.

Thanks! I would check them out.

"Gainalyst2015" Bring per visit cost of my equinox membership down to a number that doesn't make me want to puke.

Equinox is cheaper than most MMA gyms... but I get what you're saying
