Clean and straighten my house enough that if someone pops over I don't feel required to apologize for the state of my living space
Mmm smells good 7 months ago

Who wants to have to apologize and hide their dirty underwear under the newspaper? (Serious exaggeration) I mean, really, I am going to clean it this weekend. I will have some of saturday and most of sunday to pull this off. I think I’ll end up spending most of the day doing laundry!

Update 7 months ago

I have 5,000 in student loans. We don’t know the status of his student loans because his grandmother (who told him to take out the loans when he didn’t need them) has taken over his payments. Since I was unemployed for three months, I was unable to make any payments on my credit cards. Due to late fees I now owe: 3,250. My car loan doesn’t seem to go down any. It’s still around 20,000. In more bad news, he now has 3,600. He still wants a car. Even with all the set backs, we’ve made some progress. We are now down from 48,400 to 31,850.

Now, we are both working for the same company. This is great because it lessens the pressure to buy a car. We are now making enough money to pay 500 a month each on our own credit card debts (a total of 1,000 a month) I’m still not paying anything on my student loans. As I said earlier, his grandmother is making payments on his. I don’t know. Maybe this will work. I’m less optimistic.
