Update: September 2011

Alright, so it has been 6 months since I set myself the 40 Before 40 objective. I can report that I can cross some things off my list.

Item #1 - Drive around the United States of America
Yes. Done. Achieved. And boy was it a blast :) Here are just a couple of pics: Graceland... THE grassy knoll... Mesa Verde National Park







Item #11 - "The Art Of War"
I have to say that this book was not an easy read. It's not that it is difficult to read, it is just a boring text book of opinion. However I can say that I am ready for the revolution when it comes!

STATUS: 2/40 = 5%

Superannuation Spectacular

Item #5 - sort out my superannuation

I have sifted through the huge pile of superannuation statements from the last 6 years that I had stock piled and worked out that I have 9 separate superannuation accounts. My task now is to ring them all and work out how to roll them all into one account, hopefully not losing the entire day doing so.

sigh

The only thing is that I sifted through the pile 6 years ago with the same goal but obviously got distracted (or curled up under the table crying because it was all too difficult) and didn't get it completely sorted. Sadly I am procrastinating and writing this blog post...
