How I did it: basically i bought less weed and gave the money to my best friend.
it was hard cuz i have to spend money on food and gas. sometimes i had to work extra. but i paid her back and felt better, especially cuz i paid her back when she needed the money.
that's what best friends are for, right?

I got into debt when the company that i was working for where having problems paying the staff but promised that things would get better…....WELL THEY NEVER DID and the result is that im now in debt and need to really clear it.
To add to the debt the company i worked for closed and refused to pay wages and hoilday pay which is now going through employment court which will take ages. I then went to uni and of theres students loans etc. And being out of work for a year didnt help and having two young children was hard. I was just getting bills left,right and centre plus debts. Ive now got a job so time to go through the papers of debts Grrrrrrrrr

As soon as I graduated High School I went straight to college. My downfall was choosing a private college. XD
Anyway, School loans have been built up along with a small amount in credit card bills and hospital bills.
Unfortunately a part-time job can’t possibly pay for everything.
I’m going back to see my parents and work at the sturgis rally at the beginning of next month. Whatever money I can make there during that week should help out a bit.
My plan when I get back into town is to keep my part-time job along with starting either another part-time gig or preferably a full-time job somewhere.
I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck and I just want to not have this huge debt making me unhappy.
So I’m half way there! Hopefully I’ll get full time work now and clear that nasty loan quicker that you can say “hey, you just wasted one thousand two hundred and seventy five euro!”
I had to take out a loan for just over a thousand Euro to pay for college fees this year, as I am repeating. Yay. More debt.
I’ve realised I’m actually getting myself out of debt. I’m completely clear with Catherine (I owe her two eggs though…) and I only owe Paul 45 squids. Can’t think of anyone I owe money too (appart from parents, of course) except Danny who told me I didn’t have to give him anything back because it was a sort of failed bussiness thing. Not really, but from the money point of view you could see it that way. Yay me
I’m close! I’ve got enough money saved as of today to clear all immediate debts! Just the ridiculously long term ones left(such as playing my parents back for college and shit like that). Relief.
My first week at my new(and old) job! I’m working in the same coffee shop I was last summer, which is cool enough, because I know how things work for the most part. Working night shifts is a bitch though. You gotta do what you gotta do.
I also have a Death to Debt plan. Sounds like a G8 heading but it’s nothing as grand. Just no debt in 3 months. Seams plausible.
I haven’t paid anything much off yet(due to the no job situation) but I haven’t gotten in more debt. I’m not moving anywhere, but at least I’m not sliding.
