How I did it: I registered to be a mentor through a program called iMentor which is based in New York City. It is an organization focused on education and college prep for under-served students in the NYC metro area. It is a great program for New Yorkers because it accommodates a busy lifestyle.. the bulk of the program is carried out via email, in combination with a once a month meeting between mentor and mentee. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I decided that I spend way too much money buying food outside of my house while I'm on the go. I made a real effort to buy more groceries on a daily basis-- as I walked by markets on my way to and from work-- so that I could have fresh ingredients for whatever food I was craving that day. Before I knew it I realized that the foods I made at home were much more satisfying and less expensive than the easy foods I would grab each… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I told my sister that she should come visit me... so she scheduled some hard to get time off of work, and made the trip! Planning weekend travels around holidays and long weekends makes it a lot easier to make the most of our time together. Read how I did it…
This was supposed to happen once before, a long time ago, in a far away life… but it didn’t.
Now that our relationship is actually established, nearly three years later and a lot more stable, I hope that I’ll end up there someday, meeting his family and utilizing his native born tour guide skills.
(This may also help me check “re-learn Italian” off of my list, as the language might come back to me if I am actually surrounded by it.)
This is hands down, the hardest habit for me to break. It’s just that I am lazy- and after I’ve taken the time to cook something, found the time to sit down and enjoy it, the LAST thing I want to do is wash the dishes.
It is really the simplest task, but it is so easy for me to let myself just put it off, and put it off, until my tiny sink is full and I have no clean spoon to eat my breakfast with.
MUST WASH DISHES.
(or get a maid)
I have had my savings account for a year and a half and have never had more than a $0.01 balance—this is because you only have to keep one cent in the account for it to remain open and considered active.
The reason that I’ve never had more money in the account is because I live in New York: I came here with no savings, went into debt to make the move happen, and have continued to live from pay check to pay check since setting up shop in Brooklyn.
The reason this goal is on my list is so that I have an active reminder to make an effort to save money… It really isn’t that hard to do, and even if I just start put in $5 a week, eventually, that will add up to something.
