I'm so excited to announce I am debt free! Last week I paid off my last student loan 🙌! That was one of the best feelings 2018 could have given me. I told myself this year I would be more selfish and accomplish all the goals I set out for myself. This was one of my biggest because I was working on this for 4 years. And next month will be 10 years since I graduated from college. It was very imperative to me that I completed it.
Even though it took me four years. I believe it could of been completed sooner. However, I was busy doing things for others, and didn't forcus 100% on myself. Let me tell y'all when I did everything changed for me.
After I became debt free, I immediately started looking at my "WHY" that I wrote prior to getting out of debt. I had a long list of reasons that gave me something to focus on afterwards. So, now I am gonna list the things I will focus on after debt freedom.
- Get my emergency savings fund fully funded by end of 2018. I'm already halfway there.
- Start a car fund to get another car. My car now is on her last leg. And I need to find a new one soon.
- Increase my retirement savings funds to get that free match 💰! My retirement is automatic by I have to increase my contribution.
- Take more trips and vacations I love traveling. It is my number one passion.
- Save up to start a business. I know in my heart entrepreneur is in my blood. After all I went to school for business. And I love creating and this mixes my two loves together.
- Start an investment fund for my niece and nephew. That will be one of my ways of giving back.
- Start my own charity/non profit for teenagers to find their passion!
- Write a book based on my life and motivation inspiration. This is very long over do this is something I wanted to do in my early 20s.
