I often feel so paralyzed by how much work there is to be done in the world that I feel like my measly $5/month (or whatever) isn't even worth the effort. But...it is. And my new employer matches our charitable donations.

The biggest thing I do is rescuing animals from shelters, but I can't take any more on, so now I feel like I'm not contributing anything to the world.

If your shelter has something like this, you could volunteer to be an adoption counselor, helping people pick out animals and vetting them to make sure they're a good fit, or doing stuff like taking nice pictures of the animals and writing up fun personality blurbs on them to help them get noticed online/in shelter and adopted. I want to take home all the animals too, but I satisfy that need by trying to help the other animals go to good homes. I recommend it if you have the time/your local shelter has programs like that.

And even if you can't, yes, any money is helpful. They need to buy so much stuff that comes purely from donations/extra money, every little bit helps!

*Move to less expensive area so I can decrease monthly earnings goals $1000 ( and the stress it takes to get that extra per month just to live in the overpriced area ). - DONE !! :)
*Show the bf my home area and more of the South West USA - IN MOTION
*Pay last $2000 off credit cards.
*At least a month of international travel. - leaning towards Aug. 6 - Sept 6
* Set up our insurance / join whatever freelancer group we need to to get group rate now that we don't have it from his job.
* Build my stud muffin his website and begin his google adwords campaign so he can earn on the road. 90% DONE
( ^ a note on this one though ... I don't think couples should work together very often so I just built it and handed it to him , he's responsible for doing things with it including building it out more , advertising, ect. )

I should probably set more goals. I want 2016 to be EASY. I've had years / phases in life where I've really pushed it with goals and I want to ease up a bit in the next 3-5 months and relax a little more.
