A goal-oriented person

I have always been a very goal-oriented child. I am almost constantly saving all my money (and I mean ALL my money) for the latest very expensive but worthwhile experience, or object.
For example, growing up it was my dream above all dreams to own a horse (as you can see I was not the most...original child...but what the heck, that is what I wanted). Unlike most 10 year-old kids, instead of just dreaming about constantly, I dreamed about it constantly AND decided I would make it happen! I marched right up to my mother with my ingenious plan and screeched excitedly, "MOMMY! MOMMY! If I earn the money, can I pleeeease buy a horse?!!"
"uhh....sure honey..." she replied distractedly (who knows whether or not she thought I could do it, but I did, and that is all that mattered to my 10 year old heart at that moment)
So I began planning, and by planning I mean deciding names for my dream horse, as well as what color she would be as well as wonder how I would possibly earn the money for all of this. Job opportunities were scarce but I started by grooming my neighbors dog and then branched out to yard work for a nice lady named Peggy, as well as our family friend Rod. Each dollar (well, each CENT really) went straight to my bank account and for the next 2 years I did not spend one dollar on myself. (I believe it was around this time that my family realized that I was perfectly serious, and in fact, quite capable of buying a horse).
Finally, after 2 long years of saving and saving and saving, I had earned $300 which to me was a HUGE amount (though, in retrospect....well...you know what I mean). I proudly took my money (and my friend's parent, who knew alot about choosing a horse) to the local livestock auction, and, for $120, bought a little appaloosa yearling who was sent to auction because she was the wrong color.
I still own this horse, in fact, I trained her myself and love her like a child. I know that even though, I cant even remember what I my old parakeet's names were, or how many cats I've owned, I will always remember the little brown horse who I bought at 12 for $120.


3 years later, I got a job at the local Subway. With all this money coming to me every two weeks I needed a new goal...
