Morning everyone!
I'm super on it today - I've been listening to motivational songs on Spot!fy all morning (included in my phone contract) and its got me going! I highly recommend downloading some audiobooks/listening to podcasts/reading books on motivation, they honestly do work. Its got me thinking about all my goals that I want in life, so here I am, ready to plan them out.

- Invest a portion of our income (need to research properly)
- Overpay mortgage and become mortgage free by the time I'm 45.
