Going Green and Becoming Debt Free in 2 Years - Day 2

Shop your own home first.

Confession time - I have never followed through with recycyling. The excuse, rural Georgia doesn't have recycling pickup. (I know, I know, unheard of in the rest of the country) So, I have to collect the recycling and take it to a central center. Bob can't stand seeing it by the back door, he also says it smells after a couple of days (???). Well, I give up and put it in the trash bin.

My solution for this was purchase an outdoor storage shed, very, very, small just to store the recycling until I could take it to the center. I found the perfect solution on the web site of a home improvement store. The cost $130.00, oh my. When, my brain actually worked and remembered Bob has this exact thing in his barn. Yeah, he actually had 2!! After much rearranging of his painting supplies and elbow grease, I have the perfect and free solution for storing the recycling between trips to the center.

Goal #1 - go green, recycling on schedule, no new storage containers created using up resources, no gas used to ship containers to store or to go to store to pick up containers.

Goal #2 - pay off debt, $260.00 saved by not purchasing containers. $105,000.00 - $130.00 = $104,870.00.

Goal #3 - enjoy the good life, resting after a long day of rearranging and cleaning with a cup of freshly brewed, at home, cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin made with my own blueberries.

Life is good, and I consider today a success for all 3 goals.
