Dear Dave, Do you have any advice for sticking with your goals and New Year’s resolutions? I always have great things in mind to shoot for in December, but then they always seem to fall by the wayside before spring.

Update from Senator Jacobson

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and was able to enjoy it with family and friends. Christmas Eve church services are hard to beat. This year was no exception. I look forward to the new year and hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable New Year’s celebration.

As another year ends and we change out calendars, I enjoy looking back on the last year and reminiscing. The years seem to continually fly by faster and faster!One of my favorite things to look at is my list of read books for the year.

Here in Nebraska, people regularly have various grievances against the Husker sports teams.I’m a Husker fan through and through, but I’m not in the fan category of those who let a Husker loss in any sport ruin my day.

Update from Senator Jacobson

I want to open my article this week to acknowledge how proud I am of the Husker women’s volleyball team and their incredible season.

Dear Dave, A friend told me about your Baby Steps plan, and after years of living paycheck-topaycheck and running up credit card bills, I’m ready to get control of my finances. I just have one question. Baby Step 1 is saving $1,000 for a beginner emergency fund.

Dear Dave, I have $100,000 in student loan debt. Since the amount is so large, is there a special place in your Baby Steps plan for it?Dear Jules, I hope you have a nice, large income with which to fight that big pile of student loan debt. I’ve seen even worse situations, though.

Update from Senator Jacobson

This past weekend, Julie and I celebrated her mother’s 95th birthday with approximately 40 family members. I must say that my mother-inlaw is an amazing woman. She lost her husband, Maurice, 33 years ago from a massive heart attack.
