Financial Goals

A little bit more about that debt goal. We currently have 13833$ in credit card / loan debt. It is all low interest, but is sucking up $500 a month of our money. Obviously I would like ALL of that debt to be gone by the end of the year, but I don't know if that is possible. The goal for the year is to get it down to under $10,000. I'm gonna set the other financial goals, the laptop and investment clothing, aside and buckle down until we get that goal met. Totally doable, right?

What Kind of Life Do You Want

 What Kind of Life Do You Want: A Midlife Crisis Exercise I want a comfortable life.        I want air-conditioning when it's hot and I want hot water in my shower and I want soft pillows on my bed. I want a life of community.     I want to volunteer at the food pantry and sing in the church choir and serve on a municipal parks board. I want a life of connection.     I want to be a healthy, safe mother to my son and a support to my partner and I want strong relationships with my family of origin. I want a life of wellness.     I want to get enough sleep and eat enough vegetables and drink enough water and move my body in ways that feel good. I want a life of growth.     I want to learn new things and visit new places and learn new skills.
