In my last post, I talked about being very close to paying off our store credit card. Well - mission accomplished! We actually paid it off the day after I wrote that post. This means that we can now shift the focus of our financial goals toward saving instead of debt payoff. We do still have some consumer debt (vehicles, student loans, and mortgage) - but we don't have much in savings at this point and we're going to take some time and make that the priority.
While it's not on my list of goals to accomplish, I do have another big change on the horizon. I've resigned from my current job and will be starting a new job on June 15th. I'll still be working in the same industry (higher education) but will be at a different institution and a slight change in position. It's closer to home, an increase in pay, and will allow me to diversify myself professionally. I've worked at this same institution for 5 years, so it will be difficult to leave, but I'm also looking forward to the change.
I'm trying to choose a random item on my list to focus on next. Perhaps a 30-day photo challenge for the month of June? Or to take a week off from social media? Trying 5 new local coffee shops? Tackle an organization project?
There are plenty of options. I just need to pick one and make it the focus.
