After years of fretting over what I want to do with my life, I think I’ve on the right path…no, lets rephrase that, I know I’m on the right path and I want to be a nurse. I need to type it, say it, and stick to it. Its scary to think about leaving my stable, boring, but consistent job but I don’t think I’ll ever be happy if I don’t. I’ve given this a ton of thought, and I need to do what I’m interested in, what makes me happy, and what I’m excited about. Luckly becoming a nurse and working in woman’s health can pay the bills too. So, now I need to stick to my guns, save enough money, and get into a nursing program asap.

How I did it: I saved as much money as I possibly could and made a promise to myself that I couldn't touch that money unless it was absolutely necessary. I also got a part-time job at Starbucks so that I could get health insurance. Read how I did it…
This is such a huge weight lifted to not have to worry about paying credit cards any longer. If you are considering getting out of credit card debt, do it! After having to stuggle to pay them off for as long as I can remember, I can’t think of a good reason to use them again. I’m not completely debt free yet with student loans and a laptop to pay for, but that will come so much easier now the cards are gone hopefully forever…or at least for a very long time:) Yeah.
I just made my second to last credit card payment! I can’t wait to pay the last one. Woohoo! It is really exciting, but after that is paid off I’ll just have to move on to paying off other debt e.g. laptop and student loans :/
