3. The Plan

So I've laid it out there. $100,000. It hurts me to even type that out. But I have a plan. I promise I do. And it's called micro-profit.

While this amount of money is clearly daunting. All I need to do is make short, attainable goals and make short easy profits.

I want to lay out my goals here and see what happens.

Goal: $100  that's it?

Okay, I promise there's a method behind my madness here. My reasoning behind this, is that all I need to do is get $100 one thousand times. This is, in itself, a large number. But not when it's broken down into (let's say it together) Short. Attainable. Goals.

So that's my goal. $100. When I get that, I'll rinse and repeat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

So here's a funky looking image here of 10 squares. Each of these squares will represent $100. This is going to happen. After I reach my first goal, I will mark a square. When I finish all of these squares, I will start over. I have to do this 100 times.

That's it. Short. Attainable Goals.

2. The Problem

This is the hard part.

Although I consider myself to be incredibly astute when it comes to money, this self-assessment is nothing but a mere fallacy unless I prove that I can handle the problem. Currently I am more than $100,000 in debt from student loans and I am determined to handle this NOW.

Why now?

Top 3 Favorite Excuses

"Oh when I start my profession I'll be able to tackle my debt" 

Yes, I've said it. 

"Well, right now it's not affecting my living situation so there's no use in doing it now" 

Yep, said it.

"I need to focus on completing these courses and not focus so much on money" 

I'm sure I don't need to tell you....

1. The Reasoning

I'm in debt. A lot of debt. More debt than most people in the country. And it's only the beginning. 

I, being a student, have two degrees under my belt. I am halfway through another one and I have one more to go. It's not that I'm particularly addicted to school (it would definitely seem as such), but I have a particular goal in mind that has cost me greatly. 

Here is where the blog comes into play. I want to pay off my debt. A little at a time. 

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Yes, I am going to pay off my debt. Slowly. Methodically. And completely.
