Back in 2008 I had this *amazing* idea about finding a job somewhere else and starting over. Only problem was, I tried it with zero dollars in my pocket. It lead to failure to the 10th degree... it was inevitable. I have this same idea again, and now since I have some money in my back account I'm thinking it might actually work.
I'm going to give it some time... build up a little more dough, maybe start a "Help Lauren start over" fund... buy a car, and do what I need to do. Let's face it... staying in Daytona and working retail is not going to get me anywhere. I'm sure my parents didn't really think about how moving down here would effect my brother and i in the long run, but honestly... i credit all my wrong-doings to living in FL.
I'm going to compile a list of things that need to be done before I can continue on with this decision... the hardest step will probably be getting the BF to agree to come with me. This will be too tough to do alone, but he has always said he will not live anywhere that doesnt have waves. If he loves me as much as i hope he does, he will come on board to help make me happier, and more successful.
Now in no particular order, here's my to-do list:
-Buy a car
-Find a second job, or sell shit online to make some extra $$
-Send out 100's of job applications/resumes to places all across the company.
-hopefully a few will be willing to do phone interviews...
-land a job that is at least 6x's better than my current job, and move there.
sounds easy enough right? I think i've finally found a theme for this blog. Getting from A to B.
Shoot me some money making ideas!
That's awesome Lauren! I know this costs money, but you still interested in getting that apt with me? We could do a 6 month lease cause I don't plan on being in FL for too long... Within that time both of us could do our saving of money to get to where we need to be. You finding somewhere that will benefit you in becoming more successful, and me getting to NV with my girl. We can help each other find ways to make money and all that good stuff. Hell, we could start a new blog for the both of us about how we get from where we are now, to a much better life where we want to be. =D
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun idea // plan. So hit me up and let me know. Give yourself some time to think though. Talk it out with me and stuff, you can call or text me any time, for anything, and you know that.
