so, last week’s challenge. like your classic procrastinator, i got on this today. this afternoon, to be specific. but the point is that i did it – i cleaned up all the piles of paperwork under my bed and already feel SO. MUCH. BETTER. it’s kind of funny how much underlying stress that area was causing me, and little did i know how fantastic it would feel to just go through it all. still working on my filing system but we’re getting there. i also found a whole bunch of t-shirts that i’m going to either get rid of or trade out with some of my other t-shirts that are looking ratty [it’s going to be 1 for 1 – if i keep one, i have to get rid of another one, because seriously, how many t-shirts does one person who is not a college student anymore need??] :)
anddddd this week i will be doing a sort of “annual review” of my finances. we just received our profit sharing at work and will be getting our annual increase soon, so i’m going to be moving around my money a bit, figuring out how much i want to put into my roth IRA, how much i want to invest, what i’m saving, etc. i know that it’s important to do this every so often and i’m not always the best about actually doing it, so i thought it would make a great challenge for this week, given that it’s such a good time to take a look at it. i’m no financial expert, but i’m thankful for my parents who know a lot about the subject and are great role models/advice-givers when it comes to money [and a lot of other things, for that matter].
{my selfie this week is blurry but i just had to use it… i’m laying on the concrete getting under my car because a plastic bag got stuck under there on the highway and i kept smelling burning plastic when i’d get out, so my dad recommended that i see if i could get it out from under there so it didn’t start a fire [no luck getting it out because it melted. but the car will be fine luckily]. anyway, i’m all like “snap a pic YO because this is likely the only moment that you’ll see jessica kojder under the car with a flashlight, ever.” so yeah.}
happy sunday!
