17 months.
By using my budget/debt numbers to calculate an end date, without variations to my current budget (either bad = emergencies, or positive = tax returns), I'll be down to mortgage debt only in 17 months.
People keep asking me why I'm so motivated to complete this. I am most motivated to do this because of how limiting debt can be. I considered myself to be in severe debt; I still am. Debt keeps my life choices limited. I've used the phrase "it mortgages my time". Right now, I'm locked in to my lifestyle for at least 17 months if I want to continue this path to becoming debt free.
Removing my debt burden will not only relieve background stress, but also be a potential gift. A gift of opening up a new way to choose how I spend and perceive the time I have. I'm not the same individual I was when that debt was created, and I want the freedom to continue exploring myself and life in general.
17 months.
Budgeting continues to go well. Frugal fitness is going very well, too.
The past week I completed the 3 structured workouts from the couch to 10k app, and totaled 9 miles. I cycled for 20 miles, and did one resistance training circuit.
I'm still trying to shed weight, it's starting to slow down once I got the initial load off. I will need to tighten the screws with the diet. I'm aiming for another 10-15 pounds before this time next year. Slow and steady.
I've heard from a few of you who read, and I'm excited to hear about the progress that you're making. Whatever journey you are on, I hope you are starting to plot a path to get there. Don't hesitate to reach out for anything.
Happy Friday - enjoy your weekend.
