I am trying to plan a year in advance.I know that it may sound really crazy, as a year is a long way off, but there are things that i want, as well as the things that i just want to pay off.So i am planning a few things, like getting really ahead of all the utility bills, as they are a thing that are going up constantly.Also to make sure that i get money into my savings account, as you never know what you may come up against when it comes to bills.

A year in advance is to too far ahead for me to make a definite plan. too much csn happen before the year is out to change the plans we make. Spontaneity is more what i like.@joystick (1675)

Alot of things can happen in a year, but in a years time there will be more increases in peoples bills, as well as all the other things that go up, like food shopping.I think that this way if i can get ahead, as well as have some sort of savings then this will really help.

I would love to be able to make plans for the future in my life. However, I've learned that it really isn't possible to make plans for too far into the future because you don't know what is going to happen in your life in the mean time. That said, I'm lucky to know what I am going to be doing for the next few weeks and I definitely don't know what our family is going to be doing this time next month, let alone this time next year.

I don't. And sometimes I wish I did. Because at the end of the year, when I look back, I regret that I hadn't done some things. Maybe I would try planning the year from hereon after.

Hi there,
I don't really plan a year ahead on expenditures but I do sort of make a mapping of projections. It is kind of hard to save right now but we do take all into consideration before spending with efforts to save something.

Well, I never really planned what I was going to do for the next year. But, I'd make goals as to what I'd like to start doing next year. Because when you plan something out, it tends to not go the way you planned.

I usually plan about three months in advance. Any more than that and something always happens. Bills I will figure up to about a year. And figure for the holidays so i am sure to have presents and all that. Things do have a way of changing though so I have to be flexible.

Planning a year in advance
and for just paying bills? Where is the fun is that? I don't plan even a day ahead and take it as it comes and it never did me any harm at all. Anyway did you not hear we are all doomed by Saturday the 21st so whats the point lol.

I have learned one thing, every time I plan something, something always goes wrong. I learned never to plan, never. I try to plan but like I said, it never pans out the way I want it or something happens and ruins everything. Today is today, tomorrow hasn't come yet, so don't be so up tight about things. Go wit the flow in an organized manner and everything will be alright.

I used to always have a plan for the year but since last month nothing has been going the way I planned so I'm trying not to plan too far ahead just now, it does help us get focused but I'm having this uneasy feeling that life is teaching me to be flexible and take it one day at a time...
I'm surrendering my stubborn want to control my life and let things happen in their own accord...I just hope that this action is right though...

Well at the end of the year I make a list of things I plan to complete/achieve within the year. I usually write it in my diary so that is always infront of my eyes and always reminding me to complete them.

I have made plans before,but they never worked out and it turned out to be a waste of time.
I think I'm more of a "spontaneous" kind of peole.
