Winter

The weather has been extremely odd recently. Just last week the temperature was in the 50s and this week the temperature dropped tremendously. It is literally freezing outside. This is no climate for anyone to live in. Our bodies were not build that way. Winter is my least favorite season because I dislike the cold weather and my skin becomes extra flaky. I prefer the summer because it is warm and I do not need to layer on a lot of clothes. I know some people who disagrees with me and I honestly do not understand why they like the winter. As mentioned before our bodies were not build to endure cold weather. We are warm-blooded animals which means that we are unable to adapt to whatever climate we are in.

Anyways, the reason I have been ranting about the weather is because I've been thinking a lot about moving to somewhere much warmer. My fiance feels the same way. We both want to eventually move down south because it is warm year round. We cannot stand the cold weather any longer. This however is only one of the reasons why we want to move out of the city. Another reason is because the cost of living here is way too high. It is getting to the point where it is impossible to do anything with our salary because everything just costs way too much. I was curious how much an apartment would cost us monthly in Florida and to my surprise it costs so much less. A three bedroom apartment costs the same as an one bedroom apartment here in the city. However of course we would have to be making roughly the same we are now. But that will be something we will be looking into in the near future.

Plan

On my last post I listed a couple of goals that I want to accomplish this year. One of those goals were to pay off a majority of my bills. Today I have written down a plan as to how I will pay off one of my credit cards. This is the same thing I did last year for the other credit card I owed money. I think this is a more realistic way of paying off debt. According to my plan, I should be able to pay this credit card off by June. It seems so far away, but it will come before you know it. I have been looking forward to paying this bill off for three years now and I am ecstatic that I am so close :)

As for the other goal I've set to accomplish this year, I have plans to start taking lessons with a driving instructor after the month of March. This has also been something that I've wanted to accomplish for a long time now. I started taking lessons with an instructor towards the end of 2011 and as of right now I've taken fifteen lessons and a road test. Unfortunately I did not pass my first time, but I am definitely not discouraged. Since I've made it my goal to pass my road test this year, I am determined to achieve it.

New Year Resolutions 2013

I have decided to start blogging again. I stopped blogging for a couple of years or so but I want to start documenting my feelings and what's going on in my life. The new year started roughly two weeks ago and I have been trying to set my New Year Resolutions as I did last year. I have so many things in mind that I want to accomplish this year. To name a couple, I definitely want to be able to pay off a majority of the money that I still owe to my creditors and I want to pass my road test in order obtain my driver's license. I wanted to set realistic goals that I know I can achieve. Last year I feel like I had goals that were unrealistic. An example of a goal I set last year was the pay off all my bills. Even though I had a plan as to how I would accomplish this goal, I did not end up paying off all my bills. I did however pay off one of my credit cards in which I owed a pretty hefty amount. Therefore, I think that I was able to stick with a goal that I set for myself. This is the reason why I am setting goals for this year as well. I look forward to achieving these goals because these has been things that I want to accomplish for a long time now. I am very glad that this is finally the year where I will be achieving these goals.
