…life isn’t always a clear separation of business, work, personal time, personal interests, friends, and family. They intersect and overlap.

Financial Check-In: Debt Free
Not going to lie, I was really down for months as I steadily progressed towards this situation. There were some really dark moments where I questioned everything I was doing. Were all these sacrifices really going to be worth it? Would I ever get to that moment where I paid off my credit card? Would I ever know life without debt? Would I ever move forward with my life again?
Book Review: Total Money Makeover
I recently relistened to Dave Ramsey’s book “Total Money Makeover” because I remember it being pivotal to how I spent my money after completing University for my nursing degree. At the time I was $40,000 and then some in debt because of student loans despite living at home for most of it.
TL;DR I am super broke now, I need some motivation, and I’m working hard to get my finances sorted out again.
Reflection
When I look at my goals from 2018, so many of them were not relevant to my life. I just didn’t know it at the time. I was still trying to hold onto my old life. My pre-divorced life. My life of youth and vitality. My life of potential and opportunity. The goals I had set in 2018 were an attempt to recapture a part of my life that I had lost and wasn’t ready to admit to it being changed and gone forever.
