Looks like everyone has been posting there goals for 2008, so I will hop onto the bandwagon and post mine aswell. 2007 was a great year for me, I now have a great network built up and a proven method on making money. My goals for 2008 are pretty much the same as in 2007, but I will add a few more things into the mix.
Goals:
1. Make $200 a day from blackhat seo.
This is actually harder than it sounds. I have been working on my blackhat seo network for 4 months now, I love slogs and cloaking. So I will be sending the traffic to affiliate programs mostly. As of right now Im making about $5 a day, and spending like $400 a month on tools. But I think I will be able to get to $100 a day by the end of January.
2. Keep building up Developer Hut, Inc.
I am only making about $1500 a month from ypn, fastclick, and private ads. But I love the fact that I have a seo empire to back my new sites up whenever I want to make a money making websites such as an ecommerce site. I can also use Developer Hut, Inc. to pay my bills If I have to. I only have about 2k in bills every month, that is server, mortgage, utility’s, etc. So my seo network is my backbone.
3. 10k a month
Keep making 10k a month. Or more 
3. Live better
Its not all about money. This year I would like to focus on eating better, gaining knowledge, and of course going camping more.
4. Pilots License
Its expensive, but I would love to do this. Its about $700-$900 to get my pilots license, and then another $300 a month for a co-op with a pilots club in town, after a 1k deposit. Buts it will be fun as hell
4 1/2. Hot Tub
I want one, really really really bad. A nice one.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Dude if you were closer I’d hook you up with flight time. I own a 182RG with IFR and have my CFI (have had it for about 2 years now), almost done with my CFII.
We have similar goals, I also want to get my pilots license, but instead of maintaining 10k a month I want to get to 10k a month. Good luck!
Oh, btw are you looking for any more room mates?
Robert, thats bad ass. how much was it?
And where do you live? haha
nice goals (H) you will make them
Looks like your goals are coming true quick

Florida… it’s gettin pretty boring around here.
Jon, I live in Phoenix, AZ. It’s actually a split ownership between a brother and I, we’ve owned this plane for a little over a year.
A club is a fun route of getting access to a plane, but at the end of the day, no one takes as good of care of your stuff as you do, and it’s nice being about to fly at anytime without conflicting schedules and such.
Forgot to answer your first question, it’s a 1998 model (bought it with about 1200 hours) and we paid just short of $200,000. If you go about it the right way, it can be a worthwhile investment. In previous months we’ve leased the plane to the a local FBO who then rents the plane out, covering the loan, insurance, and some extra fuel money.
Robert, Does the plane loose a lot of value? Like all toys
Austin - yeah we have 1 room left, email me if you are interested
Not as much as most. I mean technically it suffers ware and tear just like anything else. But considering it’s a “vehicle” it holds its value much more than any car could dream of, even a collectible. Goto controller.com and price out a Cessna 172 or 182 from the last 10 years versus one from the 60’s or 70’s and you’ll see what I’m saying. The only reason my 1998 is worth more than a 1975 with the same hours is purely because of the avionics, cosmetics (paint and interior), and a few additional “features” (A/C for example).
Anyways, aviation is an absolute blast. It’s a shame it’s as expensive as it is, because a lot of people are apprehensive to experience based upon the fact its out of their price range (and I’m not talking about a commercial flight - haha).
Robert - got msn or aim?
MSN: rnorton@gmail.com, you may already be on my list.
$700-900 for a pilot’s license? Are you sure? I finished getting mine over the summer, and while I haven’t added up all the costs, it was more in the $3000-$4000 range (and I rented the cheapest planes in the area.)
But yeah, it’s tons of fun.
My understanding of plane ownership is that the planes don’t depreciate all that much, but you do have pretty hefty ongoing costs (hanger or tie-down fees, insurance, expensive maintenance, etc.) which means that you have a lot more to deal with than just the cost of the plane itself.
I would suggest taking advantage of your youth and lack of responsabilities (of course, that doesn’t mean you should go over-board), because, take it from a “dinosaur”, at a certain age, flying a plane will be just about the last thing on your mind
