2006 is winding down and 2007 is right there in a few days away. If you list a few major accomplishment for 2006, what would they be?
 
We bought a house. Does that count? 🙂

That's awesome. In which state/country you bought your house, if I may ask? I wanted to do this; but, I cannot commit to the place I am living now. I just feel I am moving out. Owning property may slow me down my decision on moving out.
 
I've lost quite a bit of weight and I'm also about a week or so away from releasing a beta of my first shareware app.
 
Got my wife pregnant.

Well, we weren't TRYING but I still mark that as an accomplishment as now we are very VERY excited...

Congrats, mate! Noice one! 😀

As for me? Well, I made peace with my being in this universe, and then I ate a whole loaf of bread. It was a pretty big loaf.
 
Got 95% on my science unit test, found out I'm a nice girls best friend, and sold all my imported chocolate bars in less than a week.
(Yes, 13 year old boys don't accomplish much)
 
In chronological order...

Got a job in the field that I was trying to get into, connected to the country I wanted to work with (Russia). Got a bigger apartment. Traveled to Russia on your tax dollars (again!). Got my wife pregnant (intentional--planned--extremely excited). Saved money and saved for retirement. Got back into an old hobby that I love (photography--put together a couple old albums; have been taking tons of pictures and am starting to actually like some of them!).

Those are the big things, I think. Man. This thread makes me feel much better than I did a few minutes ago. Thanks!
 
Quit the job I thought I would have for quite some time, due to realizing while I could do it, didn't mean I should do it.

Went into business with my father.

Passed the following financial tests:
Series 7
Series 66
Series 31
Life Insurance Producer
Health Insurance Producer


Cut my hair back to a length I am comfortable. Prepping for the angry onslaught from boss/father.

Congrats to those who accomplished great things in 2006, and may we all enjoy 2007.
 
Got laid off 🙁 , paid off the car 🙂 , and cashed in on unemployment benefits for the first time in my life! 😀 All in the month of December.
After over a decade in the same workplace, I'm actually considering trying something new, with my wife's encouragement!

Last, but not least, my first fortune cookie after the lay off read:
"There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity."

Overall is's been a banner year!
 
Graduating High School, going to college, getting a mac, and working multiple jobs for the first time - it's a doozy!
