Well I'm at about $10,000 6 months ago

Which isn’t so bad except that I’m going back to school full time this fall. Heh heh. I’m probably really screwing myself over here but I have very little choice in my field and this is what I really want to do so it’ll be worth it (I’m being hopeful) and it will get better.



I have a system! 15 months ago

That seems to work. Sort of. Maybe sort of.
I’m able to put $600 a paycheck into all my debts but because of this I’m a little bit living off one of my credit cards, but not too badly. I’ll have to adjust that part of the system somehow. But any extra money I get though goes to that credit card. There’s nothing that goes on the other one except my phone bill once a month (which isn’t much). I’m getting through them slowly. My student line of credit is doing quite well actually.



A bit more of an upsetting setback... 18 months ago

So I lost $200 cash yesterday. I figure I put the money (that I got from my roommate for rent) in my pocket and it fell out somewhere (oh God I hope in my extremely messy house) but it was probably on the street when I went out for a walk (I kind of forgot about it – phooey). I’m guessing it’s now in some drug dealer’s wallet (I live in a somewhat shady neighbourhood).
Well I WAS going to put that towards my student loans.



Minor setback... 18 months ago

My cell phone is my main phone. Except when I’m at work, it’s my only phone. A few days ago I completely lost my cell phone. I decided to get an upgrade and bought a Blackberry. It was expensive. Oh man I hope it’s worth it but everyone I know that has a Blackberry seems to be really happy with theirs.



Not doing too badly . . . 19 months ago

Some credit card issues (as in someone trying use my credit card number for online stuff – payments didn’t go through, thank God!) has forced me to temporarily stop using my credit card. I think I will keep with that habit. It’s making me live paycheck to paycheck but it’s kinda worthing knowing I’m not adding to my debts and even taking away.
I’ll just have to wait and see what happens when I go back to school.
