One credit card DONE. We are now on to card #2. We added the payment from the last card which was $15, the extra $200 a month PLUS the minimum of this card which is $40. So, $265 a month on this card and it will be done in about 5 months.
We get our tax refund and we are keeping only $100 per person and paying off another one and then moving on to the 4th…dont ask. I told you, she had a lot. We found a house that is perfect and by the time it goes on market we can have a good chunk of debt gone. Plus, she is a veteran so we can get a VA housing loan so no closing or down payment costs.
Go us.

How I did it: I had to wonder if I didnt have more friends because I chose to be that way or if I was truly a non likable person. More and more I came to the realization that I like to be alone and sometimes its hard to put up with other peoples quirks, dramas, problems, etc. But with friends, you realize that most of the time, the times are good, peaceful and worth whatever comes your way. How people relate to you is how you relate t… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I worked at it and worked at it and worked at. I still work at it. When i walk, I throw in runs. Sometimes it moves me and I accept it and Gump it out. Most of the time, I power walk. Im a walker. No shame in that. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I always felt terrible because I thought, who does this?! People who want to be sane thats who. My family is toxic. Not all of them. I actually like one or two of them, but as a whole, I had to be ok with walking away and admitting to myself and others that they arent good for me.Cut back on time I spent with and then time I spoke with them. The key was not being sucked back into the drama when they made some… Read how I did it…

I got an email from the doctor at Roswell Park who told me that I am still the number 1 candidate for the research position, but, they have a very strict HR protocol to follow. They received another resume so they are obligated to interview them. I understand that. If it were me I would want that chance too. The funny thing is I still wished them luck but then thought “hey, wait…” It makes me admire them more that they go by the rules no matter how long it takes. I wanted to start before thanksgiving because I dont get paid for 2 days through the temp agency, but everything will work out in time.
Until then, I wait and secretly wish that last person luck, but not too much luck.
Alla is a 30 year old young man in Lebanon who owns his own coffee shop. He is in need of a new espresso machine and wants to pick up some other supplies so he asked for money. I reloaned $25 plus gave 5% to Kiva to cover costs and he is now on his way to being a cute little coffee shop owner in Lebanon. What can I say, I love coffee. Here is to loan #12. Peace and luck my friend. May the java flow freely.
