So even in a new decade, I'm back to my old tricks again... wishing I had better control of the clutter, the food and the money. Here are my new years resolutions:
1. Get rid of the junk! I've "hired" my sister (can you pay a sister with hugs?) to help me establish a yard sale to get rid of all the "stuff" in my house that we don't want or need. I'll be putting a few things on Craigslist and maybe trying out ebay as well, but the stuff has to go. Difficulty rating: 2.5/5 stars
2. Minimize eating out! Getting rid of the junk doesn't just mean in the house, it means in my food as well. I want to start cooking more at home to eat better (helps to know what goes into the fooding process). Plus I hate not having a plan for when I get home - I always get too hungry and just pick the junk from our local takeout place. The target is to only eat out on special occasions. Difficulty rating: 3/5 stars
3. Save Money! By combining #1 & 2 as well as taking a harder look at my finances, I want to see if I can actually pay off my credit card bill by year's end and operate entirely on a cash basis. I'll feel a lot better about buying that next big ticket item if I can say I paid for it with cash. Difficulty Rating: 5/5 stars
