I got absolutely nothing done on these 2 days off. What's a good motivator? I simply do not have it, and still procrastinate too much. It's not as bad as the old days, but I relapsed this weekend. The only useful thing was I paid my credit card bill. Over $3000. I would never dream of not paying my credit card bill off. I don't even know what the interest rate is lol. But I'm sure it's over 10% while my savings account makes a piddly .75% interest. . The high bill was due to my eye surgery. After a few weeks my eyes feel almost human again. It sucked for a few weeks.
I'm trying to cut back on spending, but really this just causes me to spend my time in front of the computer spamming this place like I'm doing now. *sigh*. I'm trying to cut back on my drinking to reduce spending and cut calories. And of course I have this constant fear of becoming an alcoholic. Which interestingly, stopping drinking is considered a symptom of an alcoholic. I'm pretty sure I don't drink because I'm an alcoholic, only because I'm bored of computer games and I find myself getting really bored on my weekends.
My main thing I wanted to get done was take some money out of the bank (save say $5000 for emergencies) and put it in something stable that I can get my money out in a few months should I decide to buy a house. So things like CD's are out of the question. Stocks are too as they are too volatile. I have a lot of money in stocks right now, which is useless as I can't take the money out (I'd lose too much money- I need for them to recover first). Should I do money markets? I was supposed to reinvest this weekend, but I'm lazy about doing research.
And I still need to pick up a gift for a baby shower. I have no idea what babies need. Good thing they have a registry. But I don't want to wait until the last minute- I might not be able to find anything.
So aside from getting a wife to nag me (out of the question)- what's a good motivator?
