I’m trying to become more aware of everything in my life. What I eat, what I wear, what I buy, what I don’t.
There are some hard facts to be faced. I have credit card debt. I’m on the mortgage with my parents on what is currently a rental property. We bought it before the market busted and hoped to actually live there. Although with the gas prices being what they are, it’s nice not to have to commute from that far out. My parents are retired, so it wouldn’t bother them for too long. (Dad’s on his second job and retiring in five years.)
I’m going to try to take a look at the economic impact of my choices, the ecological impact of my choices, and the social impact of my choices. I’m not going to be preachy about it or anything. As always, this is more for me than anything. It’s a way to organize my thoughts. And heck, I’ll consider this my “real” journal. I’m not trying to live up to anything, but maybe I can document a little bit of my life.
