One of my goals is to become more self-aware not to be in autopilot mode. I'm reflecting on my past, and improving on it.




Jobs
I avoided learning opportunities, not improving, not applying for greater positions, staying in the same going nowhere job.

What I should have done-
Learned about the business, how it works, is there a opportunity(niche to grow), and why are they successful.


Personal Finance
I was living paycheck to paycheck.

What I should have done-
-Set up a budget with a emergency fund.
-Thinking about a purchase before buying.
-Short term and long term financial goals.
-Lived with roommate/ bought a house have roommates pay rent.

Vehicle
new car payment

What I should have done- Bought a used car not with a loan, change my own oil( use amsoil for extended oil intervals, change my own brakes). live closer to work for decreased long commute times.

Entertainment and Food
Constantly eating out, paying full price, buying in bulk to save 4 cents and wasting it because it expired, excessive drinking.

What I should have done-
Started to cook my own meals, cut out excessive drinking, bought smaller portions on new things. bought frozen veggies and fruit to decrease on waste. Go to early for discount showing of movie, wait to buy a videogame till it's used.


What are yours? What have you changed?
Do you agree the mindset of surviving and excessive fear clouds your creativity/seeking opportunities ?
