• I live on a cash budget. I’m not accruing more debt, and I’m working on paying off the debt that I have. Some months I wonder if I’m gonna make it, but I always do. I could save more so that when unexpected things come up (costly car repairs) it’s not the end of the world, but I’m working on it. I feel like I’ll be in a good place in the coming months.
• I don’t have cable. Sometimes I’d like to turn on the tv and watch mindless drivel to fill the evenings, but I don’t have that option. I can turn on Netflix and watch mindless drivel but more often than not it’s more of a conscious choice. I will be watching Jersey Shore online, but you win some, you lose some.
• I’m working on my fitness. Katie is the biggest motivator knowing that she’s counting on me to run that half-marathon with her. I want to be fit. And I’ve got plans for making it happen.

Things aren’t perfect, but they’re pretty damn good. I’ve got a good feeling about this one.
