I’m dying to learn Tai Chi right. When I complete it I will reward myself with a Tai Chi outfit, until then I will practice practice practice. (Hopefully every morning)

How I did it
It made me
Relief 
How I did it: After years of saving and penny pinching and dedicating every extra dollar towards my bills (and taking advantage of the current debt amnesty procedures) I was able to pay off all of my debts (out of about five separate bills) the largest one which I paid yesterday ($1500, of course I cringed passing that much hard earned cash to Chase, but it was paying off a bill that would otherwise be $4,500 without the debt amnesty) After I sent that… Read how I did it…

Finally Pay Off Those Credit Cards
4 months ago
How nice would it be if some rich fellow randomly paid off our credit card debts. Yeah I am sure many people have thought it would be great to either meet someone like that or be able to do that for someone.
