mind jumble
Financial things on my mind lately:
I sure hope I can lift up my salary at least by 10K in the next 6 months…
I really want to start investing. Now. But I think it’s better to wait until I’m out of credit card debt. I just want to increase my assets - it’s great that my liabilities are shrinking, but my assets need to grow too. Speaking of which…
I have to sit down and reconfigure my paycheck, given next month’s new 401K contributions… I need to hit up the IRS’s withholding calculator and decide how much I feel comfortable diverting directly to my savings account once the change happens.
It’s good that I’ve set up my bill pay, but I still have to have my auto debits for student loans, insurance, and EZPass switched to my credit union account so I can finally move my direct deposit there and dump my stupid $200-minimum-but-we-won’t-pay-you-interest bank.
Dang. Bus token prices are going up. Gotta figure out how or if I should change my transportation withholding.
Time to start Christmas shopping. I hate malls after Thanksgiving. I have no idea what I’m getting anyone (except my baby), but if anyone asks me what I want, it’s cold hard cash for next year’s down payment on the house. I’d like to make gifts, but there’s only so much crocheting/knitting my fingers and attention span can take.
I wonder if there’s an easy way to make money on the jackets, suits, dresses and shoes I’ve decided I’m not keeping anymore since I never wear them and probably never will again. (I hate holding on to stuff that just takes up space for no good reason.)
Sheesh, I haven’t put anything to the side for the wedding yet. I should, huh? I will, just… I’m doing so many other things right now.
Hey, you’re halfway there just identifying all the things you need to plan for. I know you’ll get it all sorted out soon! I’ll send you good vibes

Hi Sistah Ant!
When did you graduate from law school? Pass the bar? Are you working as an attorney now?
