My goal for 2015 is kind of strange. I'm having a kid and my goal is to become the father I wish my dad was. He walked out on my family at the age of 5. Why did I choose this goal? I think that it's going to make me grown up as a person. I want to be the best dad ever. I don't know why people would leave their babies, sons, daughters, mothers. You'd have to be a really big dick if you leave the one child that looks up and calls you dad.
I've acted like a kid all of my life: smoking, drinking, lying, sneaking out, etc... I've done my wrong in my life. It's definitely time to turn things around. Time to make a change on this earth. Even if it's small—as small as a baby even.
Sometimes I wonder what kind of person I'll be if my dad stayed. There's no reason to ponder on it anymore. I have to focus on the now and these are my nows.
#1. Get a job.
I already have a job right now, but I want enough money to get the necessities for my kid. Hopefully buy a place for me, my kid, and the girl I love right now. Making 8$ an hour won't be able to fulfill these dreams of mine. So that's why I put this. To get a job paying 20$ or more an hour to support my soon to be family.
#2. Money management.
This has little to do with my kid, but I want to have tons of money. By saving 75% of my money till I'm 30, that'll be an excruciatingly amount of money. Hopefully enough to get by in life for the rest of my life. Hopefully having enough for my kid too.
#3. Get some life lessons.
I want to teach my kid what would help him In the real world. I'm going to teach him/her what's it like to do hard work. I am a believer that hard work and dedication will pay off in the long run. I hope my kid picks that up and goes somewhere in life like I should've.
#4. Love.
Love is a key part about being a parent. Unconditional love. Just because you're being a little shit now doesn't mean I don't love you. I want my kid to recognize my love for him. I want to do to my kid what my mom did to me. Cause now when I look back on all the things my mom has done for me, she must've loved me.
#5. respect.
Once my kid comes to that age I'll show him respect and hopefully, If he isn't entitled, show him the respect that he deserves. I would like it if he once he's in those teenage years respect what I've done for him. I guess that ties a little bit with love.
These are the things I would like to do when this is all coming. I think that this is a good solid list on what I want to teach, show, and do when my kid comes around.

I like these goals because I can relate.i think you should accomplish them . Slowly and one step at a time.
These are good goals. Love is not just for being a parent. It is for being a husband, friend, and a family member. Love goes a long way. Having respect is the same thing it goes a long way. You should have respect for everyone.
I agree with these goals. I think that they are all good ideas. I like the having respect one. HONESTLY THINK THAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THESE. We'll have fun working hard to achieve your goals.
Jordan I agree with and loved all of your goals. Sounds like your trying to become as prepared as possible for your further life. If your as good at reaching your goals as you are at setting them, then you'll be well off.
