This is a long term goal because its going to take me 10 years at least to pay off all those student loans. I’ve taken the first step by getting a real job that I am actually going to like and hopefully want to get up and go to everyday! I haven’t actually started yet but I really hope it works out (wish me luck!) My next step is to pay off my credit cards, which isn’t very much, less than $1,000. My second step will be to create a monthly budget and stick to it. I will plan out how much money I will need for bills and loan payments and then determine what I have left to put into savings, and spend on having fun (aka shopping because I have a small clothing addiction which means I would rather buy new clothes than spend money going out and actually wearing the new clothes. I know I am crazy)
