Plans for 2024.

Luna

Do you have anything planned for the 2024??? If so, whether it's big or small, please feel free to share your plans here. It might inspire me to do something cool next year rather than just sit here in my anxieties.

My mind is usually racing with so much it's hard to sit down and plan certain things to do. I usually go with the flow, let my mind just take me to A-B, and take the rough with the smooth as it happens. One thing I definitely intend to do is get back to my volunteering, hopefully mid January if possible, but only time will tell if that's actually going to happen. I don't want to let this opportunity escape me so I need to be strong, if possible.
As for the rest of the year I really don't know what I'm going to be doing. Normally I enter the new year thinking oh god here we go again but this time I'm hoping I'll start the new year with a more positive mindset - positive thinking leads to good things, I'm told, so here's hoping this will be the case for me.
Another thing I wouldn't mind improving next year is my anxiety as it will normally be affecting me on a daily basis and that's unpleasant at the best of times. A little less anxiety would be nice...
But that's a tall order, so I won't get my hopes up. I want to try some new meditation, though I'm doing this before the new year. 
First, I need to try and get through Xmas. Tomorrow I've got all the immediate and extended family coming over, yikes it's going to be a long couple of days. Uncle Gene will get drunk as usual, my little cousins will be running around crazily - and loudly! - and the music will be louder than normal.
*sobs*
My parents are so good though, they tell people to be mindful of my autism and not to trigger me which I appreciate on so many levels but most people don't really listen.
Roll on the new year please....
Whoops, oh dear that turned in to another ramble. Sorry!!

  • first overall plan and goal of 2024 is to pay off my mortgage, which would be a early settlement as i only just reached my first year of it and have 9 years to go as it was a 10 year one but i never intended to go the full distance with it and always had planned to pay it off early although my goal was before the 5 year mark where the fixed rate term ends, but i plan to pay it off 2024 instead, and have most of the money to do so, and also have crypto i can cash in to get me the rest.

    once my mortgage is paid off my next plans are to get a new washing machine as my current ones broke, and get a dehumidifier... these appliance likely cost about as much as my monthly mortgage repayments cost so its a fitting redirection of those funds once i freed them up.

    then after that build out multiple different cash pots of security, one figure push my bank to to secure against any job loss and carry me for a few years without worry, another amount i will be putting into assets like gold as its tax free and makes sense if the economy collapses, another bit perhaps into a savings account.

    i dont want anyone to have any negative impact on my life again, to reach that state i need economic security as i plan. that way no one can negatively impact my life from the outside so easily again. and i can chill and be able to relax a bit more and not stress out so easily.
