<prompt> Human: A few years back finances and goals excited me, getting out of CC debt, saving as large a deposit for a home as possible, furnishing and doing final touch ups to the new home were all new and exciting and kept me motivated to keep going.Now with everything sort of worked out and every dollar accounted and budgeted for we have a year and 4 months left on our mortgage which should really excite me but it seems to have the opposite effect, its become too boring and predictable.Should I set a new goal post being mortgage free? should I start investing in shares on the side to make the heart tick a bit? any tips to stay motivated would be appreciated.  <response>: Remember how much it sucked worrying about things when they were not going smoothly.
