85% to goal and feeling meh

 So, first YAY! I reached my next milestone - 85% of my FI number! Yippee!! Other than the 3 financial goals I want to hit in the next 3 months, I'm soooooooo tired of talking about money. I just want to have a chill summer! 

Is that too much to ask. 

But yes, I reached my next biggest milestone and it's been awesome. It's actually been cool to talk about it aloud with a couple people and not feel like that was going to jinx it or I would be punished somehow!! Yay. 

To be sure, I'm still very excited about reaching my FI number. (Yet some days I still feel poor.) I am hoping once I can live with the financial independence for a few years, I'll finally start to believe no one is coming to take it away from me. 

On Monday, I talk to my boss more about the written Coaching Plan so I'm not looking forward to that. And will likely get an update on the Call Center job - or not. Either way, it's a bit nerve-wracking. 

So to distract myself and just physical distance between my safe happy home and bad news, I decided to take a little road trip a few hours a way to the middle of nowhere. 

I originally was thinking of going to mount rushmore. And as much fun as that would be, the drive is just way too long and the hotel prices are not as reasonable as I wanted. So I decided to fly there later in the year. (Which I'm pretty stoked about; but waiting till Tuesday to make any big money decisions.)

But yeah, I'm planning to leave tomorrow, and come back Tuesday for my trip to the middle of nowhere. I get the stupid news on Monday with my boss...I'm going to be annoyed if he cancels the meeting or postpones it. Hahah. 

Oh well. I really wanted a job in hand on Monday to tell him to suck it but oh well. 

In the end, if I get the call center job at 100k, I'll take it. Grin and Bear it.

If I don't and end up on a coaching plan. I have to grin and bear it too. At least I'll be on my way to financial independence!

Yo, but we can just enjoy my moment for a second. I have enough money to retire FOREVER!! We did it, world!! All of us. Everyone. 

I also applied for and received 3 months forbearance. I want to use that money to pay off my car. I was hoping to get 12 months but we shall see if they let me renew it. I'll take all I can get.

I just spent part of my morning looking at backpacks. Life is still good. 

Even when I'm feeling a bit uneasy right now. I have enough perspective to know this is sucky and temporary. Both things can be true! 

So plan for the rest of the day is to enjoy my weekend. 

Pack and be ready. Book the hotel tonight or tomorrow. And take off a few hours after breakfast, around 12n or so. 

Adios, friends!
