What are you goals for the upcoming new year 2018?
For me... I want to pay off my debt!
Finding Steemit has been a huge blessing for me. It has opened my eyes to so many possibilities out there. The fact that we can post our content on Steemit and possibly get rewarded for it is truly a blessing. I personally would love to see how this could potentially help people like myself get out of debt.
I am someone who is not married, no kids, & no mortgage... but I am saddled with Student Loans and a Car Payment. I rent an apt, and work numerous jobs. I have managed to get my total debt under $20k, and I would like to make 2018 the year I really push hard towards paying it all off. I may not be able to do it in a year, but I would like to get at least the Student Loans, or the car paid off. Each one is roughly $9k. I assume that paying off the car would be wiser, so that is most likely what I will push for first. Either way, I would like 2018 to be the year that I become Debt Free.
I would love it if blogging on Steemit could somehow help me acheive this goal of being debt free faster. I have been on the site since May 2017, and due to the recent increases in SBD price and Steem price, my account is now valued a little over $3k. Technically, I am already about 20% of the way to paying off my debts based on just my Steem account value alone. Of course, this value can fluctuate or even go to zero, so I can't rely on it totally. It could be a give help though if things keep going in a positive direction on the platform!
I am planning to work hard in 2018 to cut any unneeded spending habits, cut back on dining out, etc to help save money and pay down the debts faster. I hope to chronicle some of my experience here on my Steemit blog!
It is my hope that we all can find some level of financial success with our Steemit blogs. It will be an interesting year in 2018. I enjoy Steemit a lot, and I hope that it can become a place for creative people to continue to prosper by sharing their original content and life experiences, while hopefully being rewarded for it.
I am no expert when it comes to any of this, and this is all just my opinion. Always do your own research.
I just would love to one day wake up and not feel like I owe anyone anything! 😎
Do you have any ideas for becoming debt free faster?
