So this month I finally made the last car payment. It felt so good to write that check and never again having to make that payment. Now the only debt that I have is my student loans which will take years to pay but that however is good debt. I have no credit cards… none at all! I have been watching my spending and I hope that this will improve my FICO score.
It’s been almost three years (I think) since the last time I saw my grandpa. The reason that I don’t see him that often is because he lives in Mexico City and I live in California. He is 92 years old and a strong man but I worry about him. Every time I see him or think about him, I get so emotional and begin to cry. I just feel an immense amount of love for him but at the same time, I feel so sad. Sad because he looks just like him ~ my father. He hurt me so much that seeing my grandpa reminds me of how I used to feel.
