LAST POST OF 2018!

Read 20 books.
Reduce waste.
Pay off consumer debt.
Do two "low spend" months.
Eat more homemade meals.
Stick to a healthier lifestyle.
Deep clean the house.


1. Read 20 Books. I have to read FOUR books before the end of the year. EEP! I am going to hustle to make it!

2. Reduce waste. I feel like I have been pretty good at this.. I have been bringing reusable bags to the grocery store most of the time. way reduced my use of water bottles, plastic soda cups, and styrofoam cups at work.

3. Pay off consumer debt. Yep. Cranking it away. I seriously hate having consumer debt and will do my damnedest to get rid of it. I have also tried to pick up some extra shifts (so far, two of my clinic shifts have been cancelled because of the weather and i'm a little worried my overtime Christmas shifts will also be cancelled).

4. Do two "low spend" months. So I guess really I only did one. BUT, I plan to do one in January.

5. Eat more homemade meals. I was doing really, really well for a while and then I don't know what happened. I let my laziness get the best of me. Well, NO MORE! One of my goals for December is to bring my lunch to work every damn day. EVERY DAMN DAY.

6. Stick to a healthier lifestyle. Remember last month when I said how much I hated this cycle? Well. It's still true. I have hopped on and off this dang bandwagon more than I'd like to admit. The easiest way to stop breaking the cycle is to just do what's right. I am in a stepbet right now, which is good. It's definitely motivating me to keep hustling.

7. Deep clean the house. Dang son. I sure did clean up the unfinished side of the basement. I donated a TON of stuff! It feels so much nicer to go downstairs and not see it all!

My to do list:
1. Keep reading every night
2. Remember to use re-usable bags.
3. Continue to push through, work extra, and put the money towards debt.
4. Save money!
5. and 6. Keep eating meals at home. Keep bringing lunch to work.
7. Put away all the random stuff in the guest bedroom.
