New Year's Resolution

My goal in life has always been to continually move up. This can be interpreted in different ways and apply to many things. Basically it means that with any decision I make, it should lead to some improvement and never a regression. Every experience should teach a lesson, every mistake a preventative measure for the future.

It's no secret that I've never been good at saving money. This past spring, I was able to save enough to get me across the country and start a new life. It was easy to do when I had the promise of taking time off and travelling to the East Coast ahead of me. Well that was a start. Then, taking a job where the pay was a minimal stipend caused me to cut my spending even further and form some really good habits (cooking cheap meals instead of going out, for example). I decided I'm going to keep those thrifty habits going in 2011. My official New Year's Resolution:

PAY MY$ELF FIR$T!

(that means 10%, untouchable!) Now to find some income, because I am gonna need that other 90%...
