Thoughts on Money
Make a list of all the things you did in 2011.
I took a stab at mine:
- bought a ring
- went ice skating for the first time ever
- proposed and got engaged - also for the first time ever
- started a side project
- and got the first client
- picked up new skills in design, photography, and getting things done
- moved to a new apartment
- moved in with a girl, just the two of us
- furnished the darn place
- saw my brother get married in Hawaii
- and my cousin do the same in London
- stayed in a strangers apartment in Paris
- planned my own wedding (photographers, DJs, halls, and more)
- gained a new family
- got a raise
- day trips to Boston, Philly, and Chicago (from NYC)
- took on brands and clients I could never have dreamed of
- missed my first flight ever (to Dallas)
- went to Atlanta to bond with a family I had just become part of
And then it struck me. Not once, while compiling that list, did I think of the one thing that always stressed me out the most throughout the year… money.
Looking forward to all that 2012 has to bring.
