Okay. I've eliminated some goals (I didn't have to worry about the truck anymore, and the Goal specifically for Chris wasn't applicable anymore.) So I'm down to five.

Five major goals.

Once I get a job, I have a budget already written out to eliminate the credit cards in six months. Then that goal would change to: Stay out of debt. Or, at the least, live within my means.

Should this be hard? I don't think it will be. Once I have the credit cards gone, staying caught up and debt-free will be too nice of a feeling to change. And this time, I have my journal to reread if I get caught up in a buying spree again. (Once they're paid off, I'm eliminating all but two credit cards, one with a large credit limit and one with a small one. The small one will be for monthly obligations like my sff.net account and subscriptions; the large one will be for emergencies. And I'm never getting a store credit card again. And now that I have a debit card, I might just leave them both free and clear and only keep one. We shall see.)

I don't want this to ever happen again. It's not funny, and it's not fun. It sucks. In all honesty, I could have had a decent time in Columbus if I hadn't had to worry about money all the time. And yes, I do mean all the time. (Other than Chris, of course.)

But anyway. The next hurdle in my move forward is to get a good job. Keep your fingers crossed, please. I need all the help I can get.
