Put my mountain bike up for sale on Craigslist, asking 320 negotiable. I haven’t used it in a year. Was also wishing I’d find a boyfriend or even a friend that appreciated biking as much as me and would want to ride together. Got the bike in August 2013, none of those things happened and I use my road bike pretty much exclusively.
If I don’t get at least 50% of the value I paid in 2013 I’ll just keep it and use as a backup. There are some cool trails in DFW I’d like to explore too if it doesn’t sell.
Putting my money where my mouth is. Upping funds earmarked for student loans to $1k/mo from ,,, temporarily lowered my emergency fund account to $500 and putting Roth IRA contributions on hold from $500. Staying on track is my main goal. Dating life may suffer but if he is a good fit he will understand. If not then maybe I’ll just be single for another year.
You’re right. If the right guy comes along, he will understand. I think you are younger than I am, but I have found it’s ok to not be dating someone and just work on yourself.
I’m proud of you for taking these steps and focusing on your goals – it seems like you have a more or re-determined focus these last few posts. Keep it up. You’ll get rid of that debt. And I hope the work situation stabilizes.
