How I did it: 1) i saved up $1k emergency fund first.2) i learned my bare low-end monthly budget for all expenses. when i knew how low i could keep things, i would try to spend less on groceries, eating out, netflix/entertainment, etc.3) using mint.com was helpful in tracking how well i was doing.4) i put everything leftover straight toward loans until it was done. this meant dropping painful amounts for the sake of financial freedom. Read how I did it…
Last friday, I finished my last day of work at my employer in Dallas and purchased my one-way ticket to NYC.
February 29th, I head out.
I hadn’t really gotten started again for this year. But I woke up really early the other day and took advantage of it.
I went for a run when it was still dark out, turned out to be mostly walking. I did make it near 3 miles (2.8) which is a good start after having been inactive so long and with the cold——my lungs really did not like dealing with the temperature.
Should probably do some pushups/situps/indoors workouts to keep at it regularly while it’s cold out.
