get out of debt (read all 4 entries…)
Untitled 2 weeks ago

Trimmed total computer costs down to $900, so that’s a sizable flake not added to the snowball though I suspect another $100 will on to that. Unfortunately, I’ve been pressured into paying a $200-$300 to take an unplanned trip home so my mother won’t cry my sister’s ear off during the holidays.

I would really love to consolidate my balances on one card, but at this point, I don’t see the use in paying the extra transfer fees to give myself the luxury of easily visualized progress. With balances spread across so many cards, it’s hard to attempt a one-at-a-time strategy so I’m stuck chipping away bit by bit at all of them all at once.

I cleared one credit card last month. I’m on track (in a month) to get my revolving expenses card down to where I can pay it off in full every month. By January, I’ll have another card cleared, leaving one card though it also has the most sizable balance. It’s where my TKD tuition and car insurance went. Ho hum.
I’ve been setting aside money into savings and for car expenses like insurance, and I’m due to start paying back my parents in January. Everything is in pretty good order aside from the new machine I’m trying to build very shortly that will set me back $1500. But really, that whole thing is pretty in the air.



drink less
Why? 11 months ago

It’s really hard to stop doing something that’s supposed to be bad but doesn’t interfere with your life. I don’t miss work or class. My grades aren’t suffering. My health is stable. So what’s my motivation?
