I'm doing 21 things
I chopped my hair chin length as a symbol of I don’t care what my boyfriend thinks, I’m going to live my life as I please. And then it turns out that he liked it. Oh well, I chemically straightened it and dyed it reddish and now plenty of my hair is falling out. I’m trying not to wash it often because so much is lost when I do. I bought this shampoo and conditioner over the internet that is supposed to help your hair grow faster. It’s coming in a few days, hope it works. I’m so over my short hair now.

How I did it
It made me
disciplined 
How I did it: Half of my paycheck went to paying off credit cards and loans. I started with paying off the credit card with the highest APR, then the second highest afterward, as I was paying the minimum for the rest of my credit cards. I had a dry erase board that I drew bar grafts of my debt on each card and shaded in what I was paying off. On the other side of the board I wrote down my expenses, and found that most of my money was spent on buy… Read how I did it…
It made me
relieved
How I did it: Almost every day I would push myself like my job search was my job. I made these index cards that were a mini resumes and gave them to everyone I know and went to plenty of offices handing them out personally dressed in business attire. I tried to stay as hopeful and positive as possible. I noticed that when I went shopping for a new blouse I got better outcomes from interviews. Read how I did it…
It made me
proud of myself
How I did it: I did it twice. At the Renaissance fair I got really drunk and forced myself to do it. I also went to the Orange County fair, and took a picture with a boa constrictor with a friend. I got the tail end and put it's body on my shoulder. Faked a smile for the camera and got the heck out. It started to wrap it's body around my neck cause it was cold that night. Read how I did it…

I went to this class called the Wealth Institute where they charge a fee to be their student and they help you make money off of flipping or renting homes.
Does this sound like a scheme? Because they promise a few thousand dollars within 3 months. And I’ve been taught that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.
Also, realistically can your really buy a house with 700 credit score with almost no money down. Sounds impossible.
I was planning on living in Chicago in 2 years or so and would like to start buying a house there as an investment. How would I handle the buying from a distance?
Just paid off 2 credit cards tonight and 2 student loads completely paid off. Oh yeah! Feels good! Only 1 debt more to pay off. I feel disciplined and my overtime and hard work is not going to waste. I’m trying as much as possible to be debt free before I get married. And at this rate, I might be able to do it after all.
