I've posted about the Get Rich Slowly blog before, but this idea is too priceless not to share. You can read about it here: http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2009/01/08/commitment-contracts-and-stickkcom/
I'm a firm believer in goal-setting, but I realize that sometimes you need an incentive to give you that extra push of motivation. How about a wager where you lose money if you don't make your goals? OUCH, right?
You set the goal and the wager. It's a bet with yourself. You say who you pay, whether it's a charity or person. Me, I'd make the check going to my worst enemy or something I despise, like the Moral Majority. Yeah, really make it hurt.
There's no requirement to wager money, ever. However, if you're going to set a goal and mean it, shouldn't you punish yourself for failing?
Oh, and BTW, in case you didn't guess, I'm out of the hospital and recovering from surgery.

Opinions are like anuses. We all have them, and they all stink. This is where I give my odiferous opinions. You're welcome to comment, but if I don't like your opinion or you're not on topic, you're gone.
