The Plan


This plan is to go into full effect July 11, 2017.
This plan is to ensure the best possible outcome and to actually get my shit together.

I know, I say that all the time.
I use the term “getting my shit together” so loosely it’s probably been used as an excuse as to why my car hasn’t been washed in months same with my bedroom.
BUT NO, SHIT NEEDS TO CHANGE AND IT WILL CHANGE STARTING TOMORROW.
I am doing this all for myself and only for myself.

I need to grow the fuck up and stop wasting away.

Back to this plan…I haven’t really thought up the plan yet but I will as it comes to me.

Everything listed here is for the reason of improving my life and ultimately getting the fuck out of Florida.

Here it goes.

1.     I will as of tomorrow stop spending over $60.00 a week on pot – it sucks to love something so much knowing how much of a huge toll it takes on my wallet. I’ve gotten to a point in life where I don’t care if I end up broke with no money as long as I have weed in my car and that’s pretty sad. I’m not saying I’m going to stop because I’m not. I’m going to stop doing it as much as I have been and control myself. I’m also going to milk everyone around me for it like they do to me when they have none. I don’t need weed, I don’t need to get high every day, this does not fulfill my life in any way, shape or form. I smoke it because it’s fun and because everyone does it but do I need it? No – so number one in this plan is to just stop spending money on it.
2.    Stop buying crap I don’t need – I bought a kindle and have several books that I have already purchased stored in it but have I read any of those books? NO. I bought that super awesome detox at some local farmer’s market that’s supposed help me shit out parasites, have I used it? Yes, I have but only did it for two days and just pushed it aside. I’m sure I’ve made my point…I buy so much USELESS shit because I am obsessed with spending money. It’s sickening really, I have so much crap that I literally glare at and say to myself “what a waste of $50.00.” HOW PATHETIC IS THAT? Super. So, moving forward, I’m going to stop spending money and just avoid stores all together.
3.    Get back into my fitness – I can defiantly say that 2016 was my year. I spent most of my time in 2016 working out which provided me with great results but this year has been the complete opposite and I guess we can say: I’ve let myself go a little. I’m listing this as number 3 because the way I see it…If I’m not spending all the money on weed and crap I don’t need I should have a lot more free-time to work out or I should just work out to consume my time so I don’t spend money. This whole plan will produce quicker and easier if I jump back into working out and put all my focus on that. Gym all the time.
4.    Fix my credit – my credit is literally shit. Bad shit. Like 160% no Bueno. If I want to survive in this terrible world we live in I really need to improve my credit score. Before leaving Florida (which is the real goal behind this plan) no matter where I go, I need to have good credit. For leasing an apartment, for emergency credit cards, etc. We really need to have good credit in order to live life in a much less stressful way.
5.     Stop going out – $20 on a single drink is so ridiculous when I can buy a whole bottle of vodka for $20 and make like a dozen drinks from it. Miami is so terrible when it comes to nightlife. Uber, drinks, door charges to enter clubs. To think the amount of money being spent before arriving to the destination only to then pay your way into the club to literally spend $50.00 on three drinks and that’s if you’re lucky!
6.    Spend more time at the beach – literally the cheapest thing to do in Miami and it’s probably the thing I do the least. In my quest to bettering my life. I want to start a fresh new relationship with the beach. One where I don’t avoid it at all costs just because I hate being dirty with sand. Think of all the people and hopefully me soon that don’t have the luxury of driving less than an hour to the coast. I want to soak all the sun I can before I make my grand exit.
7.     Pick up my kindle and read one of the fucking books I already paid for – see number 2 for reference.
8.    Clothes – I know this probably falls under category 2 but my problem is so severe it needs to be addressed twice. I love clothes so much; in a perfect world, I would own enough clothes to have several outfit changes a day while never outfit repeating. I can’t say I spend a ton of money on clothes because I really don’t but I do spend money on clothes I don’t really need. For example – I’ve been wearing the same clothes to work for years now but just bought a cute pair of fringe sneakers for an upcoming Vegas trip. This needs to stop; I need to update my work clothes. So, I will still be buying clothes, but for work. Everything else is being put on hold unless it’s a necessity. On hold till I either A, move or B, have a body that would require me to update my whole closet.
9.    Save money – See everything above. Save everything you can as much as you can. Save it all. Collect pennies from the floor and start there. That’s pretty much all can say about that…
10.  Upcoming trip to Vegas – This was left for last because this trip is nothing but a complete distraction to this plan. Vegas is in the end of September and I still need to book my hotel/flight. This trip is going to be my last hoorah and after this trip is when this plan goes into full effect. Don’t get me wrong this whole plan is going into effect tomorrow but I need to make sure that I know that everything I’m saving at the moment will probably be used for Vegas not to move.

Finally, I need to stick to this! For myself and not for anyone else. I need to stop worrying about what others say/think about me because at the end of the day the only opinions that matter is my own.
I’m doing this for ME.
ONLY ME.

NOW TIME TO GET TO WORK.
