    This week's goals:
    • To use up all the food in the freezer and defrost before buying any new stuff
    • To go to the gym at least three times this week, I've paid for it already via subscription so make the most of it
    • To bring my own sandwiches to work every day instead of being too lazy to make them
    • To cancel a couple of credit cards that I've cleared and have no intention of using again
    • To make sure I do some college work, as I'm missing the class this week due to a late shift at work
    • To clean the car inside and out
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done
