My challenge is going pretty well. I have been spending time working out in my back yard 

I've been struggling with lower back pain. Getting out walking for an hour each day is a chore but it helps to loosen my back. Distance learning is not conducive to keeping my back in tact.

I plan on saving this money to pay off bills, and loans from college. 

We need to look for renewable resources if were going to sustain Earth's growing population. That's why I personally have a solar powered house, and spread the awareness of benefits solar power and other sources of sustainable energy can provides us.
