I’ve always been dependent on someone else in so many ways. Emotionally and financially. I intend to work on both of those this year. Financially I would like to:

• be self-employed, earning enough to be financial independent. Enough to pay my bills, food, etc, without having to rely on my partner’s pay check.
• be debt free. I have some very old debts I need to pay off, as well as my partner’s debts that need paying off if we are to ever stop struggling each month.
• have an emergency fund that has at least 6 months of living expenses in it
• have an savings account set up with regular payments into it

It does mean more than this to me. Eventually I want to be far more self-sufficient too. But without some sort of financial stability and independence I will struggle to make even the basic changes around here.
