How I saved $10,000 move

After living with my mom for a year and a half I decided to take a leap of faith and move out, again.

This time I moved with a plan and a savings account.

In January of 2022 I tested positive for that raggedy infection that that had us stuck in the house for two years.

While being quarantined my mind really started jumping around. At this point I decided I wanted to move back out the state. My options were Florida, Georgia, Texas and North Carolina. Now obviously I still live in Maryland but the end goal stayed the same.

In order to move I knew that I had to get serious about my finances and cut ties with things that no longer served me. I needed to:

Step one: Pick a date/ month that you want to move and be firm about it.

Step two: Figure out many months away it is.

Step three: Determine how much you need to save and what you have to do to get there.

Step four: How will I do this.

Now step four is where things get serious.

I dramatically changed how I spent my money. I decreased how much I ate out, I cancelled subscriptions I did not need, I got serious about my goals, and on pay days I had my bank automatically take out my savings goal.

If you would like to hear more I made a youtube video about this as well. Linked here
