I realized that in order for me to stay focus and keep my sanity at an acceptable level is for me to have a goal and focusing on it, on a yearly basis.
2014 - Graduate with a diploma
2015 - Graduate with a degree
2016 - Finding a job
2017 - Finish paying up my student loan
2018 - Solo trip to Paris, France
2019 - Solo trip to London, United Kingdom
2020 - Solo trip to Rome, Italy
2021 - Certificate in Graphic Communications
2022 - $20,000 for home renovations
But from the looks of it, I am not going to Rome at all since the COVID-19 situation is such a mess. So now, I need to replace my trip with something. I want to go on a staycation but at the same time, I'm asking myself if it's worth it to spend $2,500 for a solo one-week staycation.
I feel as if I should not have a goal for this year but instead just focus on the next 2 years.
I am planning to get a double certification in Graphic Communications (Layout & Type) and (Digital Graphics & Principles), and that will set me back by $2,000 - $2,500.
So now, I'm torn between spending that money on a staycation or on furthering my studies.
In Shaa' Allah, I will decide on either...
