How to book my April plane tickets to New York
It made me
relieved 
"My boyfriend has flown out twice from New York to visit me in Colorado. It's my turn now, but it took me forever to get a job so I could buy plane tickets. But I got one, and after one paycheck I had booked my flight! I'm so stoked. "
How I did it: I squirreled away money and stopped buying things completely for a month.
A big factor was landing a job, so this trip was the main motivator. Every time I got discouraged, I thought, "Once I get this done, I'll be able to see Jack."
Lessons & tips: The crap you buy is more expensive than you'd think, and plane tickets are cheaper than you'd expect.
