The past 4-5 months has been a roller coaster ride, both emotionally and physically. It all started with finding out my wife had cheated on me and masterfully kept it under wraps for more than a year, and I had hit rock bottom emotionally. Let's just say it was serious enough that I had to seek professional counseling. I worked up the courage to divorce her and move to my own place, and I kept myself busy enough so that I wouldn't hit the bottle like a lot of people would in my situation.
Now that I've settled into a routine, I am at this "now what? what's next?" stage in my life. First, I decided to fuck it and take a trip to the other side of the world... away from here. That's the short term.
For the long term, I've set my lifestyle goals for the rest of 2015:
- Lose an additional 10 pounds (by biking, lifting, eating 3 servings of fruit/veggies a day, limiting alcohol, etc)
- Immerse myself in Spanish to become fluent by the end of the year
- Schedule a block of at least 2-3 hours a week solely for day gaming
- Save at least $1000 a month, or more, towards future travels and/or investments
- Start at least one new income stream other than my job, aim to make the first $1000 by the end of the year
I'll update this thread periodically to keep myself accountable.
