Happy 2010.
Until a few days ago, I was pretty set on not making any resolutions of any kind for this year. I thought it was pretty pointless to make promises to myself that I would not keep, especially since I hate broken promises (even when they’re made to and for myself).
However, I’m such an imperfect person that I have no choice but to make quite a few resolutions for 2010. First and foremost, I need to get my financial situation in check. I need to budget, save, and be smart with my money. I’ve had a problem managing my money since I started receiving an allowance from my parents in the 6th grade. My dad would always say (and still says), “It doesn’t matter if you had $10 or $1,000, you’d still manage to spend all of it.” I always assumed that as I matured, so would my spending habits, but I’ve somehow managed to continue sucking at saving. I’m TWENTY FREAKING SIX years old. I need to buy a house, get married, make babies (…eventually)! How am I supposed to do any of that when I’m buying shit off Gilt/Amazon/[anyshoppingsite].com every other day? So for this year, I’m really going to try to curb my online purchases, and be wiser with my spending/budgeting. We’ll see how this goes. :T
Adulthood sucks.
