december.


This year has just flown by! It is already December 2...I have been so busy with my exam prep and moving, I've hardly had time to breath. This first week back at work has royally sucked. But, it could be worse I guess. Next year, I'll be vested at 5 years - almost the longest I've worked anywhere, which is slightly sad because I really enjoyed my years at Z Gallerie (5.5-6) even though I got paid peanuts. I didn't have the need for a gym during that time because a) I was in my 20's and still had a reasonably high metabolism and b) I ran around that place at a feverish pace most of the time. I really did love that place. ANYWAYS...back to the present. Here's what's happening and my goals for the last month of 2016.



fiscal.

1. Last rent payment for old apartment - lease ends 12/7. $254.00

a) W/S/T payment +/- $60.00 

2. First full month's payment for new apartment. $999.00
a) This payment includes rent, cable, trash, and pest control fees
b) Waiting for water/sewer bill
3. Bills: car insurance ($90), cell phone ($75), internet ($55 -- with a portion from old apartment)
4. Debt: rewards ($60 m), snowball #1 ($25 m), snowball #2 ($200 m)

2. Monday - Friday: work out 4:30 - 6:00 am | Saturday - Sunday: work out by 9 am
