Here's one that people don't think about until it's too late. Insurance, I plan to review my coverage and act where needed.
Enjoy the hobbies I already invested in. I drop or pause them not because I get bored, but I get distracted by some other one too easily. Currently this means more motorcycle touring.

P.S. Thanks for putting this one up. Hadn't about it much until now.

I plan to increase my income through business/consulting as I am savivng nearly 50% of my Salary and cannot save more than that.
I’m debt free as of December 14 so 2019 will be all about having sizable savings. Pretty easy. Aiming for six months but won’t stop at that.
I'm going to try working on open source projects and applying for software developer jobs.
I'm starting 2019 with a raise, I'm looking for a new job, I need to properly investing my savings, I'll also invest in a disability insurance.

I'm financially alright though and look forward to work at most 4 days/week.
