I have a feeling if I don't "write" these down somewhere I will never accomplish them.
1. Take control of my finances.
During college, I acquired $40,000 in student loans, $2,000 in credit cards, and bought a car. I have just been mindlessly paying for these things without paying attention to interest rates, or actually seeing what amount of my payments where actually making a difference. I have to adjust based on the fact that employment in my field here in Oregon is low, and both my jobs have cut my hours down to nothing, but I am determined to at least eliminate one of my bills by the end of the year.
2. Organize.
I have to admit I'm a bit of a hoarder. I feel like there are certain things that make me this way though. I still live with my parents (free rent, yay!), but, being an adult, I feel the need to want to be independent and have my own things. The problem is, I have things from pre-college/college/post-college stuffed into my teeny tiny room, which is the only place I'm allowed to have my own things. To make things more challenging, my family will place items they no longer want and think I might when I finally move out, into my room and think I won't notice. What has happened is this stuff builds up, along with furniture that will not fit in my room as it is, which makes my room look like a hoarder house. I want to eliminate everything that hasn't been relevant to my life for at least two years, and finally get things that I need to be keeping track of organized.
Project One: Organize important documents. May I never lose another bill again.
