Another year has come to an end. I’ve been doing this yearly lookback in both video and text form for a while, and this will be the last year I do a video. I’ll probably give little updates in my Christmas videos, but I haven’t really enjoyed doing them the last few years and mostly did them out of obligation. I might continue to do it in text for at least a little while, and for this year we’ll be breaking the year down into several categories. These include Student Loans, Weight Loss, Finances, Job, Car, Health, Weather, World Stuff, and just general others… Student Loans: I started the year with $7,490.20, and my plan was to put at least $1,000 a month into paying it off. On March 8th I paid off the penultimate loan, meaning after starting with 11 I had only one left, equaling about $4,500. So I paid every month, but due to some bad financial decisions that left my bank account a little low by the middle of the year, I wasn’t able to pay them off until September 20th. It took a few

Well another year is coming to an end, and you may be wondering how it went for me. Well like the last several it was a mixed bag, I’d say it was actually very similar to 2022, just worse. In fact it had a lot of the worst aspects of the last few years, sort of like an endurance round before the final boss. The final boss likely to be the first few months of 2024. So this time we’re going to go month by month, looking at six different categories; job, student loans, weight loss, car, world events, and miscellaneous. JANUARY Job: I did get a raise. That was nice. One of my co-workers quit. That’s about it. Student Loans: Not much progress here. But it was this month I gave up any hope that the 10,000 dollars in forgiveness would happen. The Biden administration kept saying all the things they’ll do to help students pay off loans easier like cutting payments in half and offering total forgiveness if you work long enough in a job. It felt like their way of saying the forgiveness

Another year has come and gone, and like last year, I figure we’ll go month by month. I wrote this over the course of the year, I tried going back to fix some stuff, but a few parts may seem sporadic. JANUARY The last days of 2021 were very meh, just as the rest of the year had been. Betty White died on New Years Eve, which just made everyone hate the year more than they already did. For me personally I checked my weight for the first time since July and saw that I was 273 pounds. 25 pounds heavier than the beginning of the year. We transitioned from 2021 to 2022 very warmly. Like the weather was so nice that on my last trip to get some snacks from the convenience store next to my apartment I wore shorts. I had a lot of alcohol and got some wings off doordash on New Years Eve. That Monday I hadn’t felt that “fat” in about two years. I didn’t even go to the PA Farm Show, which is a shame as it wasn’t held in 2021, but I will definitely be going next month. Covid cases spiked to
