I was telling my boyfriend about this and he asked me a question that seemed super weird to me.
"What kind of car? Like a Benz?"
Huhhhh? What the hell? I'm a college student with a new apartment and a waitressing gig. I don't care what kind of car I end up getting or what it looks like as long as it gets me from home to work and back and costs me less than a few grand.
I told him as much and he replied by saying that if I was gonna buy a car, I might as well get a nice one. But I just don't see it like that.
I have my long-term goals and dreams, and one of them is having a nice car. But that's someday. Someday, I'll have my degree(s). Someday, I'll have a great job. Someday, I'll have an amazing home that I don't have to share with four other girls in order to afford it. And someday, I'll have a Benz or some other really nice car.
Today, though? Today, I'm still working toward all that. What would I need a Benz for?
Your short-term goals are just as valid and important as your long-term goals because they can be great stepping stones. Don't be afraid to value them.
