Earth Day is TODAY – Sunday, April 22nd this year. And I have a new mantra:
“The only plastic I carry is in my wallet.”
Our earth is full of plastic in oceans, landfills, and accumulated litter. This past year, I committed to eliminating plastic from my life as much as I can by using refillable water bottles, steel straws, and cloth bags.
I’ve made so much progress that I mostly touch plastic to earn points & miles.
I believe we can interact peacefully with the earth and help it heal. There is too much plastic pollution
The travel and hospitality industries are incredibly wasteful. If everyone took a small step to offset plastic use, imagine how much we could save from ending up in oceans, hurting animals, or going into a landfill.

I’ve been looking forward to writing this post for a few months by now. Now here it is!
Yesterday, I made the final payment on my credit cards. Now, I don’t owe a cent of credit card debt!
As you guys know, I charged those puppies up to:
There was a point, a real and scary one, where I felt I’d certainly overleveraged myself.
I wrote about the feeling in Smart Debt: Is carrying a balance ever a good idea?
Side hustle of the millennium
And I definitely felt I’d nearly crossed the line into plain ol’ dumb debt.
Digging out of credit card debt is by far one of the most psychologically strenuous exercises I’ve faced. And that moment where I saw the interest get charged felt so wrong, my stomach turned. But I knew I could shoulder a couple of months of interest to make it all back, plus more.
Still, it sucked.
And today is the official turning point where I go full-force into FIRE.
