As many of you may know, twenty-two is drawing nearer and nearer.
I take birthday celebrations very seriously lol. For myself, it’s like a new year– July twenty-ninth is my January first 🙂 It’s a time to reflect, draw up plans, expectations and so on. This past year was beneficial but not as rewarding as i might’ve hoped, only because I am no where closer to my ‘big move,’ financially. ‘ I enjoyed it, and i will not focus my energy in pointing out ways in which I could’ve made it better but what I can say is, I needed this passing year, the lesson is learned and it is time to move on to the next half of what’s next. The point of this post is that you should always spend some time reflecting on what has been accomplished, what works for you and what are the things you need to improve on. This past year i did that whole, “don’t think about it too much, get it all out of your system and live in the moment,” and became a happier me, but a broker college student with a long term goal to move out west, but i needed that break. Don’t get it confused, I have a great paying job that has paid for all of my summer luxury expenses lol, but what is important is that , i haven’t saved much. Now with twenty-two nearing, my senior year beginning and my credit score building (lol) it’s time i retire those thoughts and re-focus my focus: budgeting/saving up, graduating, and so on. I no longer will dwell on the opportunities of the past that have kept me stagnant. Don’t allow your mind to stay in idle time, make a long term goal and stick to it. Mine is: saving up all I can and bring everything i have with me to California. For my fellow twenty-something year olds, this is what needs to be done, i mean who wants to look back at the age of thirty, stuck and wishing there was something else (I) could’ve done? Just something to think about 🙂
