Consolidation loan . . . DENIED!!!

6/28
This is proving to be, oh, a tad more difficult than previously understood. I can now see that this (very, very) large goal is made up of several smaller goals. The first of these is to apply for a consolidation loan from the bank. The second is to get serious about my spending. That part is frustrating, because I don’t live an extravagant lifestyle and I feel deprived most of the time as it is. But, I’m hoping that by introducing some additional structure and discipline I can come to feel a sense of empowerment. So then, structure. The first new goal is to eat for under $50 per week. This means preparing all my food at home. That means waking up in time to eat breakfast and not buying a croissant and coffee as I rush to the subway. And that requires going to sleep early so that I am able to wake up with enough time to eat. See? It gets complicated. Anyway, I’ve added these as new goals and I’ll be marking my progress in each. Here we go . . .
