About being financially independent 1 week ago

I am financially independent in a way that allows me to give more of my time to causes that I care about, as well as allowing me time to travel and be active in the great outdoors. I am now able to take advantage of opportunities that come my way whereas before I was too risk-averse.

(By the way, I have written this in present tense as this is the way in which goals are written for maximum impact!)



Halfway there? 3 weeks ago

I live on my own with my boyfriend and two roommates, and I pay my own bills (except my car insurance), but I still depend on my boyfriend to help me out, and I don’t make a lot of money so sometimes he has to buy me things. I still feel pretty dependent on people, because I couldn’t live by myself, but at least I’m not wholly dependent on my parents anymore. And I do make money enough for my half of the bills, so I’m at least helping. Sometimes I feel kind of useless, but I’m only 21, so I have plenty of time to become independent.

I’m going to check this one off since I’m out of my parents house and paying my own bills, even though I have help. I still feel like I’ve accomplished something.

Well.. when opportunities knock.. open the door! 4 weeks ago

I got an opportunity to earn extra while studying.. but am barely getting motivation to continue it.

I shud just finish it though. Credibility at stake..



This 4 weeks ago

is not going to happen any time soon, but I hope it will one day and I would like to keep it here as a reminder of what I’m working toward.



questioning 4 weeks ago

ALthough I believe becoming finacially indepent would be nice I also think that I might not really want this goal. Money comes and goes and it is not what makes me tick. The more people I meet with plenty of money to be financially independent, the more I question the wisdom of this as a life goal. They seem so wrapped up with their money.

Major Goal 2 months ago

This is a mjor goal..

Cz everything else (almost) is related to me being financially independent..

I’ve tried doing a lot of work her and thr.. nothing has sustained..

Currently and working for a friend.. but still haven’t got my first paycheck.. even though I was told I wud get it..

Let’s see.

I’m studying now.. so it’s sort fo tight.. but I know one day all my oans will be paid and I will be in a financially well-off position.

Working towards it.
