Could make more money, but that feels like its mostly a matter of prioritizing and time management. I usually choose having good and relaxing days over ^that grind, but I'mma step it up this year. I can afford to too tho, having no kids and all
Its been a great year tbh, met some incredible people and some very beautiful women, have had some cool successes career wise, and overall my mood's been good, family's happy and healthy etc etc
Can't complain at all, had a great trip to Italy this fall, went to a wedding and just zipped around by train on my own for a week after; Parma, Bologna, Modena, etc. Reconnected with some long-lost homies, yea... 2017 been good to me, praise God / Allah / Jah bless & give thanks
Got my book published Spoke at the Miami Book Fair Sold books to actual people and bookstores Straight A's 1st semester of grad school Job's good, got to travel a couple of times Paid off 2 of 3 credit cards, got the remaining one just under 50% Saw all of Wu in concert, some historical shit that they all showed up
Wish I saved more money and knocked out more debt, but did not. However, we did very well sticking to our guns with our budget - cut back on eating out and overspending. But I made some strides in my personal life. Would have liked to had started a new job in 2017, but I declined 2 job offers this year. Finished all my grad school work in 2017.

+ went on lots of trips (charleston, st thomas and nyc the big ones. had a few weekend trips as well, several nba games and concerts) + crushing at work + great lifting and body gains. unofficially a personal trainer now for my friends. + picked up yoga largely for social reasons. surprised how much i enjoy it though. its very challenging which isn't usually the case for me in athletic activities + started playing basketball again - somehow ended the year generally unhappy despite all this for reasons that i still haven't quite figured out yet.
can become a B+, if I win my fantasy football league for $1600 this weekend.
Plus Started my Corp Started an Amazon business Invested in Cryptocurrency/Bitcoin Took online courses in Amazon selling, Affiliate Marketing, Business Credit and Cryptocurrency Bought a bunch of vinyl records Got a raise Bought a new laptop Saved 10K Got another stream of income besides my job
Minus no social life at all gained weight no vacation or traveling
I had a good year. Some aspects of my life need major improvement. I'll work on those in 2018
I'm only giving it a D because I didn't work at ALL in 2017 and some people would see that as a win as far as stress management is concerned. Too broke to do anything, too depressed and self-medicated to care.
Yeah, outside of reconnected with old friends I pretty much need to start over this whole life thing. New outlook, new hobbies, new wardrobe, new locations, new everything. Burn it down and start again.
Luckily I'm only 2k in debt, no felonies, no kids, in good physical health. I gotta get it together like Marvin Gaye tho. Prolly time for some therapy.
