Letter to Myself

This is an exercise suggested in a post from Punch Debt in the Face - it’s a letter to myself 10 years in the future. For me, it serves as my goal of how I would like my life to be in 10 years.

Congratulations, Self!

You’ve done it! You’ve paid off all your debts, bought a lovely house, and have a hefty rainy day fund. You’re enjoying life because you’re no longer burdened by bills. You’re relationships have improved because you’re gotten rid of the unnecessary stress of debt.

You’re care-free. A kid again!

You’ve learned from your money mistakes, and I’m proud of you. But I don’t want you to forget what it feels like to live paycheck-to-paycheck. Remember the times when you struggled to make minimum payments, fought with your husband about money, and ate macaroni and cheese until payday.

Continue to clip coupons and stick to your budget. Don’t take anything for granted. Be generous with any leftovers you may have.

And keep up the good work.

xoxo.

Me
