The Plan.
By GoodbyeGal
In six months I want to be “just me”. I don’t want to have to worry about anyone else, but me. I want my own space, and I’ll choose when people may come in. I want to shop for only me.
So, here’s my plan:
I’ve recently changed my work schedule and will be working a bit of overtime to help pay down the debit Ex and I have accumulated over the last many years.
I’m exercising regularly, but I still need to take vitamins regularly and be stricter with my diet.
I finally researched the state laws for filing a divorce and am happy to find that there are no separation requirements, I can file away!
I’m starting a list of possessions I would like to keep when Ex and I finally part ways.
I’m going to seriously focus on cleaning out the closets, which seem to be full of endless clutter.
I’ll sell my house!
I’ll suck it up and move in with my parents for a month or two while I save a little cash and continue to pay debt.
I’ll work extra hard and get a ratving employee review, and hope that if I feel the need to transfer to another office location, they will comply.
By the new year, I’ll have found a fabulous new apartment in a cute little town and everything in it will be mine!
The roadblocks I am fearing:
I wont be able to afford the home improvements that are needed to sell my home for as much as we still owe.
Ex will decide to make things difficult for me.
The reoccurring guilt I feel.
I wont be able to focus at work.
So, we’ll see how all this works out soon enough. I’m sure I’ve forgotten things, but at least I’ve got some sort of game plan.

Good luck with your plan! Nine months later I am thrilled with how well my plan has gone even though I can’t say I had much of one when we split. Please keep us posted.
Good luck on reaching all your goals! I think just creating a basic plan is a huge step!
Did you call on that carpet yet?
You need deadlines. I mean it, sweetie. You’re easily distracted. LOOK! There’s something shiny.
And I hope my recent news gives you even MORE incentive to act faster. I know, self centered, but it’s because I love you!
