Getting ready for winter

Just did some budgeting and planning for the winter. Pretty ambitious plans in the works. I calculate myself spending about $10,000 cash on my education, between graduate school, the CFA, and my DELF French exam. I feel like I've gotten the numbers to work out into as best of a rhythm as it can be right now. I'm excited to wrap up this year and welcome a new one. Even though I don't fully know what lies ahead, I do feel genuinely confident and optimistic about the idea that there are better things ahead for me in the future. For every doubt or fear I may want to have, there is an equally valid hope or tangible sign of progress that I can trust in.
