One Step Closer...

One of my goals for 2010 is to reduce my expenses even further. My conscious plan involved getting rid of most of the things I have in storage through selling items, getting rid of stuff and moving other things to the basement of where I'm living now, the other is to get that second roommate here. Both attempts are going along slower than I'd like..but coming along.

This week I got a boost I wasn't expecting. Turns out, that my mobile phone carrier offers discounts to people who work where I work. 20% discount. Awesome. It was as simple as giving my work email and verifying a few minutes later.

Voila.
$150 a year saved.

That doesn't seem like much on face value, but considering that just one of my daughter's text books for this semester, cost that much used, I'm pretty happy.

I have already achieved one goal with further improvements coming. And it's still January.

YAY ME!

A year of regularity?

Well, I started this blog with the idea of that whole 365 thing. A way of starting a writing discipline that would begin a kind of training.


So....not so much so far.

I don't do New Year's Resolutions. They're artificial and tend to create more tension than they're worth.

But goals are good. One of my goals is to keep writing in this blog on the subjects that matter to me every day for at least the next 365 days. But I'm not making a big deal about it.

More goals:


A better and closer relationship with my daughter.

At least double my income, if not triple it. (Yeah yeah, I know...the economy...still making it a goal)

Three paid acting gigs this year.

Achieve near debt freedom.

A particular meeting.

See more movies.

Be IN a movie. TV is great too.

Do what I can to put Christine Quinn on the unemployed list.

Laugh more. Fear less. Worry never.

Get back in shape.

No Pressure though.

See you tomorrow.
