pay off my debt

paid my cell phone bill today. it’s not much, but at least it’s something! also, not going out and drinking so much is really helping me to save money.

there isn’t much debt to pay off, mainly because i never allowed myself to get a credit card. to this day, the only plastic i have ever owned are my check card, an express card, and a pier 1 card, the latter two of which i only used once each, to get the discount.
however, i seem to be of the mentality that once something is “paid for”, then it’s PAID FOR, which is usually not the case. as of yesterday, i held in my hand collections notices from
1. Pier 1, for $216
2. Avon, for $137
and
3. Cingular, for $200
Please don’t scoff at me, because I know this isn’t a lot of debt, and it’s easily pay-offable, but even though I CAN afford it, I never have the motivation to go and get the money together and send it in. I’m a debt-collection-notice ignorer.
as of today, though (well, yeseterday, actually), i vow to not buy anything or do anything fun until these debts are paid off. round ‘em up to $550, and it should take me about two-three weeks to get them paid (allowing some of my hard-earned for food, cigarettes, and gas money).
