Job: Awesome. Got promoted and relocated to sunny southern California by my company several weeks ago.
Car: Driving a company-expensed rental at the moment. Looking at buying a car in a few weeks. Current (certified preowned) options on the table are: Toyota Camry ($20k), VW CC ($22k) and Lexus IS 250 ($26k). My colleagues tell me that Lexus is an 'old man's car brand'.
Holiday: Several company-expensed business trips to southern California and personally expensed trip to Montreal, Canada for Christmas.
High: Moving to southern California on the company's dime.
Low: Getting used to living in California, USA with it's silly rules but glorious sunshine (ok, the last part isn't a low...).
Relationships: Still single.
Plans for 2015: Find a great church and build out a good social circle, do really well at my job and have fun doing so, save, spend, perhaps meet a nice girl.

Job/Career - Spent way too much time trying to get the business in Spain we acquired on an even keel. Thirty trips to Madrid this year is too many.
Car(s) - traded in the S4 for an RSQ3 and got some stick on the audi forum here. I don't care I love it and it meets my needs perfectly. The wife's mx5 toy car passed it's mot again and I think I persuaded her to swap her 208 for an S1 next year bought youngest daughter a Ka to learn to drive in and she passed her test first time.
Holiday - None this year, wife didn't want to go see below
Relationship - Another year married 21 years now
High - Wife getting the all clear from cancer after 6 operations over two years. Starting work completely remodelling the old house we bought last year, always been my wife's dream to do this.
Low - spending so much time away from home, 30 trips to Spain and 3 to the USA. It isn't a way to live your life.
2015 Plans - finish the house. Buy some properties to rent out. Spend less time in Spain. Spend more time in california

Job / Career - I'm in probably the best job and best paid job of my career as a chef and could not ask for better bosses. I never want to leave here.
Car - Still driving an Audi A6 2.7tdi and have no intention of changing any time soon. In the last couple of years i've been working hard to get myself out of debt, and in 3 months i will be completely debt free and enjoying well over £1500 a month disposable income.
Holiday - I have had 2 main holidays this year, both driving, first i drove to Barcelona, then to Paris on the way back. The second was 4 nights in Bruges which i really enjoyed, and it has changed the way i think about beer, i no longer put up with water like fosters lol, Belgian beer is so nice.
Relationship - Been with my partner for just over 2 years and we've planned to get married next December in New Zealand, so will be spending 6 weeks over there from mid November, we'll be spending NYE in Sydney on the way back, then a few nights in Dubai before returning to life here in the UK.
High - All of the above really.
Low - The only low i can think of is poor internet where i live, but that can be flipped, I live in one of the best postcodes in the UK, a mile away from Britains favourite view, i have Scafell on my doorstep so the poor internet really is a small low.
2015 plans - just to get married and enjoy my time in NZ meeting my partners parents and siblings. Other than that, more of the same.

Great idea for a thread, I was actually going to do something similar!! However due to the craziest few days of my life I have not had the time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So how has this year treated you?
Job/Career - Total rollercoaster. Decent Promotion - Risk of redundancy - Job Secured. This has been a really funny year at work for me, however its all settled down and sorted now and I am much happier for it.
Car(s) - Octavia VRS still going strong, although having recently required 4 new tyres all around, a new water pump, cam belt, Service, Coolant temp sensor, exhaust weld and new air hoses to name a few things.
Holiday - Barcelona with the misses. Last chance to get away before our new arrival
Relationship - Still going as strong as it was when we got together at the age of 15 - 12 years ago.
High - This is a tough one for me this year as there are three big ones however the last one listed here takes the gold: 1. Purchasing our first home together. 2. Getting a promotion at work. 3. The birth of our baby girl (which only happened on the 3rd of December!!
Low - Loosing a very good friend to cancer. One of the hardest things I have had to deal with personally. Miss you every day buddy.
2015 Plans - None. I have a new born child so I am just going to enjoy each day as it comes.

Job/Career - can't complain, I'm in a stable job and worked on a few interesting projects. Pay is above average and I'm comfortable. Feel that I've got a little too comfortable though and need to challenge myself more soon.
Car - Still driving the 182, it's having cambelt done in a couple of weeks as well as having the timing fixed and some compression tests. It will be replaced in 18 months I'm guessing due to other financial commitments next year...
Holiday - Paris with some friends in April, Spain with the family in summer.
Relationship - Going great, got engaged in February on our 6 year anniversary and wedding next August.
Highs - Getting engaged to the girl I love, making wedding plans, playing more golf with mates, joined the gym and lost some weight
Lows - Can't think of any, apart from being disappointed with my lack of fitness
2015 Plans - sort out my body fat, want to get it into the low teens, wedding onviously(!), get my golf handicap lower, closer to 20, challenge myself more at work and further develop my career, and hopefully get a mortgage!

Job/Career - I secured a big promotion, so excellent. Also, I wouldn't trade my extremely helpful and friendly colleagues in for any others - I aspire to be as they are.
Car(s) - How is this on here! I rarely use my car so it is a relative money vacuum. Still cruising in the old 2001, vintage style!
Holiday - Mostly long weekends away but a nice week long holiday abroad too. Nothing eye-popping but very enjoyable.
Relationship - Highs and lows, but generally good.
Health - My fitness has continued to slide as we head into winter. My gym attendance is slacking as is my diet will power - need to man the heck up.
High - The highlights of my relationships.
Low - Some of the relationship lows, but also the ever ominous presence of stress from work and exhausting working hours.
2015 Plans - Save money towards a house and make amends to my state of fitness!

Glad this popped up
Job/Career: First full year at my current place, it's going more well than bad. One of the people I really can't stand is leaving soon and that will make my life so much easier. Done and passed a few certs/courses which will no doubt help my career further in future. I just need to learn how to get along with a chap better at work.
Car: My car is falling to pieces, I try to pretend I've given up on her; but she still drives like a beast. I need a new one but I don't have a parking space at work and living in one of the UK's biggest city, cars aren't treated with the respect.
Holiday: Had a few nice days out here and there. Had a few nice days off so friends can visit me.
Relationship: N/A lol.. I really do miss her but nothing I can do about it.
High: First full year in a new city, getting my life back together. Leaving some fake a$$ people behind. Quit smoking. Eating salads for working lunches; lost some padding Parents finally understanding what I'm trying to do. No deaths. Discovered TV.
Low: Me and my former friend of 20-odd years are no long speaking (both a high and low).
2015 Plans: Saying yes and going to some social events, so I can stop living out my social life on fb and getting a real one back, start putting some cash side, start going to the gym again. Dare I say; get some roots down by looking for a permanent home and hell I may even find a cuddle bun.

Job/Career -All good, been in my job for 5 years. Still enjoy it, yes its in IT but I am a 2nd and 3rd line support engineer. I get to travel round the country, have flexi time. So I am not stuck behind a screen all day
Car - Not much of a car person, sold my car last year which was an Astra Sxi.
Holiday - Booked a month off work in May and spent the whole month travelling around Europe. Paris, Portugal, Barcelona, Rome, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam and Brussels.
Relationship - Been single for 11 years but have a cuddle buddy since August.
Highs - Travelling around Europe, 60 inch TV, BBQ party held at my house.
Lows - Living alone can get lonely sometimes. No one to come home to on those dark nights such as now.
2015 Plans - Buy a new car, knock the cuddle buddy on the head and find a women who wants to be with me. Continue working on my own business, work harder at the gym to get a better looking body, take up martial arts again, learn mobile phone game programming. Do work on my house such as getting the double glazing windows replaced, back fence completely replaced and spare room plastered.

Relationship - Still with the same woman and our little girl..
High - Probably watching my little girl grow up, having friends and family support me through a difficult year, you get to find out who really cares..
Low - Generally i guess my whole year being worse off than the last 8, but this threads about this year so i guess it was having no work and not being able to find work through the summer.
2015 Plans - Nothing planned, just a case of building a customer base and hopefully getting a lot more contract work and if things work out get married, go on another road trip around america with my daughter and wife, if things dont pick up, then maybe sell up, move south or canada, whatever it takes to survive, my life feels like its living on the edge at the moment between a cliff edge and a bed of roses..

Job/Career - Got a new job on more money and shorter hours. Working for a start-up was fun but the hours got to me.
Car - Nope. I'm not paying Camden council £300 a year to park outside my house, especially when I'd hardly ever use it.
Holiday - Took a few short breaks in the UK and I'm now on honeymoon. A couple of days in Sydney followed by almost a month in New Zealand. Currently in Queenstown downloading my photos as I've filled the memory card! We've already done Christchurch down through Mt Cook, Dunedin and Milford Sound. We're going up the west coast from here, eventually ending up in Blenheim (for the vineyard tours) and then hoping across to the north island. From there, we're going to drive up to Auckland and then spend Christmas in the Bay of Islands.
Relationship - Got married last month. Absolutely amazing day. It took an incredible amount of planning (and money!
) but it was all worth it in the end. Can't wait to see the photos once the photographer has developed them.
High - Getting married, honeymoon.
Low - Had keyhole surgery and that knocked me out of action for a week.
2015 Plans - I'd like to buy the XCOM board game.
