1) My main objective this year was to cut down on my retail purchases
SUCCESS
2) Use those freed up funds instead for picking up single cards and/or hobby boxes of sets that don't have a million base cards for every 1 hit.
SUCCESS
3) New goal: since I pulled a 2016 Topps 1/1 platinum Luis Severino card from Series 1, despite my dislike for the new design, I'm going to focus on a Severino Rainbow.
FAILURE
4) Secondary objectives for 2016: try to find time to trade more and not let trade offers sit for months ... But that requires me to get organized.
EPIC FAILURE
5) New Goal: Trade for a Bryce Harper Auto!
PARTIAL SUCCESS ... I traded USD for one
6) Enjoy as much of the baseball season as possible
TOTAL SUCCESS

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
