There was a restructuring at my job; thankfully we all still have one, but I now realize how lucky I was to have a job that was fairly enjoyable. Many of the people in my field (IT) no longer have jobs after seeing them shipped overseas.
I know that even though I am saving much of my income, I am also wasting it - on lunches out, on buying books and renting movies, on buying food I never eat before it goes bad, and other areas of my life that really don't contribute either to my ability to retire early or my happiness.
So this is a pledge to myself that I am going to stop wasting this non-renewable resource and buckle down.
Anybody with me?
