Everyone's thinking.

For some of us, 2021 was a big deal but for a lot of others, it was just a minor step ending the same way other years ended. By this time last year, my friend was complaining to me about her rent and a few days ago she was still complaining to me about her rent.

A different year, the same complaints, just a little bit more expensive than the previous year. It's growth, I guess because there had to be a certain amount of increase to push you to want an improved lifestyle. But the pressure is everlasting.

My constant motto is - NO PRESSURE!

I don't like to feel like I'm on a deadline with life. If I can get through the daily expenses, monthly bills and cover my expenditure for the next 6 months, I'm okay in the meantime. If I have some money in savings, then I'm completely okay in 2 years.

My problem with this mentality I have is the lack of a proper futuristic plan in it. I want to relocate in 2023. It's getting so close and now there's a lot of pressure. Right now, I'm not ready, I can't afford it and I don't know how next year will end. My budget is pretty terrifying at the moment.

So, I've been thinking. What's going to make 2022 better for me? How could I end the year that would make me confident enough to keep chasing my goal for 2023? It all boils down to money and more monetizable skills.

My major plan

I felt pretty dumb when I realized I didn't have a lot of stable coins saved. So, I began to make the conscious effort to send some amount of HBD to my savings as often as I can. I don't have a weekly amount in mind but I have a general target for next year.

However, I'm kind of confused.

Next year, I plan on getting myself a new phone for my birthday. That might set me back by about $300 at most. Getting that amount will not be a problem but it will do some damage to my money target for next year.

Yes, I'm sort of always selfish to my present while making plans for my future. I refuse to adhere to my brother's instruction to "enjoy now". I'm trying, I really am.

I might just do a power down to get myself a phone. But I really don't want to.

My financial target for next year is 10,000 HBD in savings. I plan on gathering this amount from selling most of my liquid second layer tokens and from my daily rewards from posts.

It was a bit terrifying when I did the maths and I found that I would need about $28 daily to have that amount by the end of the year but like my motto says - NO PRESSURE!

My next target is to get more skills. I've said this many times and it's about time I began my journey into that aspect of my life.

My main goal for gathering this new skill is the fact that I'll need more skills than what I possess in order to survive properly in a different country. I constantly feel inadequate and that's never a good thing.

Finally, my desire to get into creating video content.

I ordered a ring light and right now I'll be leaving the house to go pick it up. I'm learning to try to be more present with my life and enjoy my moments as they come. So videos will help me appreciate my daily activities a lot more.

I constantly feel extremely confused when it comes to making decisions for myself, my finances and my future so when I write them out here I tend to get some clarity.

Next year should be a great year. My desire is to live a low key life and do the most I can with every day that passes. I'll definitely be lazy on some days but I'll still keep moving no matter what.

Thanks for reading and compliments of the season!
