Such is life

Hey y'all. I've been thinking a lot lately about where I am in life, what I want out of life, and how, thus far, I have accomplished what I always envisioned that I would have by this time. You know, life expectation is far exceeding life reality. So that has prompted me to enlist accountability. I feel like it's probably the only way I'll acquire the motivation to actually go after that I want. I'm the first to admit, my life of easily obtaining whatever I wanted has not done much for me in the department of self preservation or  motivation. It's said and the sense of entitlement is definitely one to over come. I don't mind working and earning a living, but I also have no inclination about asking my parents or fiance to provide something that I lack the means to. So I am going to attempt to use accountability as a means to an end. I will motivate myself into achieving all the things I keep telling myself, "I'll do tomorrow.." Without further ado, I present to you...

4th Quarter 2012 Goals!

This will be a regular quarterly list that I will post, refer back to, and list progress on, in order to achieve some structure and success in my life and career. So my goals for the 4th Quarter are as follows:

1. Get my student loan situation figured out so that I will be able to get my booty back in school!

2. Start an entirely separate account for our wedding and house savings

3. Religiously deposit money into that account every pay period even if it's only $20!

4. Sit down and write up our bills every month

5. Start using the budget envelope programs 

6. Sit down with DF weekly and discuss where we are on our budget. 

7. Get the remainder of the house painted and window coverings on all of our windows

8. New living room furniture

9. Desk/work station set up in bed room

10. Daily/ Weekly chores schedule for the entire family.

Okay so 10 goals to get started and I'm going to do a separate list for my fitness and health goals.  It'll be a 5 goal list as I try to make this transition :)
