Adult Decisions

I would not go back in time. I have no desire to be 15, 21, or even 25 again. But the youthful sense of being care-free, I must admit, I sometimes miss. I'm feeling a little of that today because I decided to cancel my NY trip.

Of the list of things I set out to overcome roughly five years ago, becoming more financially responsible is all that remains. In spite of the free flight and the free place to stay, once I put my pencil to the paper the trip simply didn't make sense.

I feel good about the decision. I've derived a plan to save money for a get-away at the beginning of next year. Once I reach my goal, I'll book the flight. Then, perhaps, I'll truly have a care-free vacation, unlike the ones of my youth that put me further and further into debt. Growing up isn't so bad after all.
