I know, I know it's a little early, but is anyone else thinking of one pertaining to the hobby?
I'm going to try and not buy any games at all next year.
 
Pay off most or all or most of our ~15k credit card debt. Before anyone wants to talk ish, my bills are always paid on time, and we're able to cover our debts with my job easily. It's getting them paid off, making more than the minimum, that we're shooting for now. Finally have had enough of the worrying and tiny place we live in and I'm making the personal sacrifice to make sure that I work enough so that we can get out of the local ghetto, maybe get my kid in a school where more than ONE CLASS is taught in English, and start saving for an actual house instead of the hovel-of-a-condo where we live..

Put things in perspective..My salary at the start of the year would've been 36487$ without any overtime at all. I'm currently at 113% of that and rising every paycheck for the rest of the year. I have not put in *most* of the overtime I was eligible for this year. I could easily end up at 135% of my base payrate due to overtime this year.

Next year, I'm going for the gusto. Overtime, as much as I can get, until I can't stand it anymore. We're making a lot of good financial choices for next year already, and I can't wait to feel like a human again and not be buried under years of medical debts.

Move to a new house and be completely game free by the time i get to the new place. I've sold off 25+ machines this year and i have two left that aren't spoken for. By late next year, this hobby should be nothing more than an occasional chassis repair or a restoration if i feel like it. I can't wait!
 
mine will be to figure out a way around my wife's continue no more space deal. probably by trying to sell our house and get into a bigger one. then the arcade will grow.
 
Somehow get a real pinball machine so my son can learn to play better (he's 7 and chances to play these days are slim to none).
 
Get the project restorations done on the machines I have in storage. Half of them will be destined for sale...but a few are keepers... :)
