Taking care of the day-to-day minutae you can sometimes lose track of the bigger things you should be taking care of. I need to:
1) Clean up the apartment. Not just for tidiness and cleanliness, but to get rid of all the old crap that I no longer need and just takes up space now. I took one stab at this earlier and got rid of a lot of stuff, but there’s plenty more lurking in the closets and desk drawers still.
2) Get a vehicle. I haven’t needed one recently and still really don’t, but the mobility will make the other steps easier. Something used, so I don’t care if I ding it up a bit in my inexperience, but not so old that it’ll have maintenance problems. Preferably a four-door sedan for enough room and comfort for friends.
3) Get a house. Now that I have a bit saved up, there’s not much sense in continuing to dump rent into somebody else’s pocket. I don’t need something huge and wouldn’t be able to take care of it anyway; something with a small yard and three bedrooms (mine, guest, and office), or two bedrooms and a basement would be sufficient. I can probably pay it off in 10 to 15 years and be well-prepared for retirement down the road.
4) Unleash my robotic shock troops and corner the world energy markets. Hey, they’re getting bored.
I think all that is good and well. :-) Kitties in Cam’s apartment! I’m coming over. :-)
Your troops need a general? Hook me up, amigo, cuz they’re not the only ones getting bored. ;-)
