Okay, 2023 is here and the “new year, new me” herd is stampeding their way to the gym and to the salad bar. If you’re in that crowd, we wish you the best of luck in your efforts.
Losing weight, saving money, getting organized, and fostering a better relationship with alcohol are all common goals people put on their lists in the new year. These are all amicable resolutions even if some of us know we’re just going to fall on our faces on a treadmill once and never put the gym in our GPS again.
So, what are some shortcuts you could take to meet your goals?
Losing Weight
You might jump on the scale and decide you need to drop 10-15 pounds this year. But, what if I told you that you could cut 200 pounds by lifting a pen and paper?
That’s a hefty amount of weight to drop, but your couch might be thankful if you get rid of that pesky spouse that won’t get off of it. Romance might be dead in your marriage, but you can revive romance in your life if you are able to cut the dead weight and shape yourself up to get back out there.
Saving Money
We just passed the holidays and, while Halloween was in October, there is no horror like opening up your credit card statement right now. Everyone wants to find a way to cut down on spending and add a little more to their savings account.
What if we told you you don’t have to buy for two anymore? If you cringe at the thought of doing anything for your spouse, it might be time to cut their budget to $0 and call a Texas divorce attorney. No more holiday gifts, no more birthday gifts, and, maybe most importantly, no more worrying about them using your credit card to rack up debt anymore.
Getting Organized
Do you feel uncomfortable in your own home? Sick of doing the dishes or picking up the dirty laundry that’s been sitting two inches away from the laundry basket for two weeks (seriously, who does that!?)?
You don’t have to pick up after someone who isn’t there. If the first, second, third, or sixtieth time asking your spouse to pick up after themselves doesn’t work, maybe ask them to pick up a pen and sign the divorce papers.
Having a Better Relationship with Alcohol
Whether you find yourself drinking to put up with your spouse or your spouse is constantly pestering you when you just want a glass of wine and your favorite tv show. Whatever alcohol-related challenges you’re facing at home right now could be fixed by permanently quieting the noise.
Okay, that sounded like murder and we’re 100% not endorsing that – we just mean getting that divorce you’ve been fantasizing about every time you fill your cup. We can cut out drinking if we have fewer frustrations around us. We can drink when we want and how we want when nobody is around to tell us what to do.
Starting a New Relationship
Maybe replacing your spouse is your goal in the new year. Getting back out there after a marriage can be scary, but let Attorney Dawn King be your first new relationship in 2023.
No, I don’t want to go on a romantic Arby’s date with you. I just want to be your legal support system as you go through your divorce this year. Contact my offices and get on track for all your biggest goals of 2023.
