The glaringly obvious

I don't have a plan, FYI.

I don't know how to save money. I don't know how to pay balances down. I'm hoping that it'll be like muscle memory - if I just keep chipping away at bills and thinking about what I'm spending before I slap down the debit card, it'll work.

Thinking about being responsible is intimidating. I approach working out, cleaning, and financial accountability the same way ~
  • heart races out of anticipation
  • internal monologue about how this didn't work before
  • compare myself to others
  • give up and get a burrito
  • feel bad about the burrito, despite its innate awesomeness

So, yeah. I cleaned my bedroom. -ish. You can see almost all the carpeting that you're supposed to see. I've gone to two Krav Maga classes, and I'm going to more. And the money I put in my savings account last month IS STILL THERE!

Tiny successes are still successes.

Yesterday: $100 - costco, lunch with M, cheap-o movie with R
