January is and was one hell of a month.
Today was made of win. Epiphany-style.
One major, major area of stress was addressed (not totally removed - I have a LOT of work to do to yet):
I discovered that my stress about the Army, deploying, combat, etc really doesn't bother me. It was denial - a smoke screen I essentially used upon myself.
I hold an investment philosophy (modified by me a little) that was handed down by a late friend of mine (who was a WWII vet that later managed over $100 million on Wall Street back in the 60's), divorced more than once - both times losing half of everything plus paying alimony, etc; who still was a multimillionaire at pretty much any stage of his life (after Wall Street).
Anywho, of the short code (10-12 dos and don'ts), I've been breaking most of them for the past five years, and wondered how I accrued $29,000+ of debt (10k credit cards), and why my investments stopped growing. The answer was pointed out to me with the claymore Cluebringer (applied with the flat of the blade upside the head).
So, now that I'm tracking what I am (and am not) doing financially, I can get myself back on to my plan. Not worried about music vs Army; or other things that seem to be dichromatic on the surface.
So, I'm happy. Oh, and glasses are fixed.
