To be honest next year I want to achieve financial stability. I think when I get it I will feel relieved. I have spent practically the majority of my adult life paying for school, or working hard to pay for an apartment and living expenses etc. I have had enough to keep a roof over my head and have food on the table. But I have had a hard time trying to build a substantial amount of savings when I am working paycheck to paycheck. It always seems too that when I have some money saved up it disappears quickly, for instance a week before finals I had saved over $300 to jump start my savings and to pay off my credit card. Well my computer crashed and I ended up losing the money that I had saved. It was frustrating and when I am living paycheck that burden is extremely stressful.
I think about the debt I have now, I have a credit card I need to pay off, I have a balance that I owe a friend and I have loans to pay off. And with no real stable job all of that is intense as heck. But you know what I understand what it takes in order to put me on the right path. I have to just continue to do what I need to to set a budget. Save money. That means reducing the amount of money I spend going out. putting a little money away a month in order to create some balance for myself and begin to set the tone for my future. I think the reason why this is so stressful right now is because I am realizing I am graduating in less than 2 semesters. I am supposed to look for an apartment starting in the summer and I don't have the financial base in order to get one right now. So YES I am FREAKING OUT!
The steps that I need to take in order to feel relieved is to slowly build up my base. Say a positive affirmation everyday and have faith that tom morrow and my future will be much better than my today. WHICH IT WILL!
