So after one day of self-loathing due to my bank account I realized I need to make more sacrifices than I currently am. In the past (such as a few days ago..) buying local produce and local meat would be a no-brainer. It lacks the chemicals that other produce carries, and supports local producers. However, student loans and a line of credit do not support such prime food choices.
I was stressing about it all day, so in order to help myself make a reasonable decision I watched four episodes of "Till Debt Do Us Part" on SLICE. I realized that because I have no income right now, I need to sacrifice something. This is hard for me because I make decisions based on health first, but today I had to give myself a reality check. Stressing over money is not healthy, so I am backtracking to more affordable meat and fresh produce until I can bring more money in.
Therefore my two priorities here are debt control and healthy eating. My compromise is to continue buying quality cuts of meat, and fresh produce but at affordable prices. I will ultimately work back up to buying only from local producers as my level of income and debt reduction increases, which may take more than a few years, but is worth the effort.
Ahh, decisions. It's so relieving when one is finally made ;)
