NYE Goals: March Check-In

• Rediscover myself
  • Doing a damn good job at this – buying new clothes that fit the new/old me. I call this goal complete – I will continue to pursue who I really am.
• Increase my independence/sense of self/individualism
  • I drive myself back and forth to work. I’m not afraid to drive anymore. I have gained back my independence and self sufficiency. I call this goal complete. I’m doing my own thing with confidence instead of uncertainty.
• Get an apartment
  • I just paid off a loan that I used to get rid of my credit card debt from my step-father/adopted father. I am working on saving for an apartment now. I am still 1 to 2k away from where I want to be to start looking. I want to be able to hire a moving company to move what is in the storage unit and assemble the furniture like the beds. I need to rent a UHAUL to move everything in storage at a relatives place to the new apartment. I’d also like extra money for more furniture or a washer/dryer if it has hookups.
