time for change
i just added up how much im making. then all of my mandatory expendatures, and according to that i can afford $900 a month rent, which is exactly how much my dream apartment will cost. so basically i've been wasting away my money and calling myself broke when i could be living my dream life right now. thats when i realized im not ready. im the person who talks. im all talk no action. my goal date to move out was august, and if im capable of doing it now i'd better keep that date. so my new goal from now until august is to save. get enough saved that when my car breaks down or when the countless amount of other unexpected expenses pop up i can handle it. and also to pay for my down payment. if i can get in an apartment with no help, other than a co-signer i will feel so happy with myself. i think its a huge step of independence i need. and im at the perfect age to take the world on alone. mommys been good to me, but i can be better to myself.
