This is a declaration of intent, so to speak.

Its time to change things about my life. First and foremost on this list: My Credit. I owe alot of people money. And a fair amount, all things considered.

I intend at this time to budget myself very harshly, and save EVERY bit of money I can. No more eating out for me. No more games, or extra things.

I have written out a budget plan, and I intend to stick to it. I am going to give the extra money to my father to keep it out of my hands no less.

From now on: Thursday I will get my check. Cash it after I get off work. Remove the money budgeted out for that week. Swing by my father and drop off the excess for holding.

This will give me exactly what I will use for that week. Then, once I have enough, start paying off these debts I owe.


Second on this List, once stage one is complete. SCHOOL!

Its time for me to get a degree, and I want to be a Game Designer. I fully intend to go back to school, and, by going to DeVry, I can take ALL My classes online, thus allowing me to work full time and go to school fulltime. They have a program in fact for a Bachelor of Science in Game Programming and Simulation Design. 147+ Credit Hours in fact. Hardcore.

Once I have that degree, Stage 3 Commences. JOB! Using said degree, get a job in the industry. Thus preparing myself, hopefully before I am 30, to get a house and children and all that fun stuff.

The object is to use the next 5 years of my life to get to a point where I can support both me and my wife.

And I am gonna do it. You know why?

CAUSE I AM SHINY AND STUBBORN!
