Be financially independant

And Im droolling from the mouth on what to do with ir. I called my banks and asked for help because I know myself, Ill spend it all on Ring Pops and then wonder where the money went. I have started to read about the markets and how they work because I really want my money to start working for me instead of the other way around.

Im going to my bank after the gym and taking 600 of this money and invest.

...

Well, I moved it to my low interest credit card, so a saved abuot 8.75 percent on interest. I’m really glad its gone !!!!!

Got the job, working toward a better job (or at least better paying!). Working the plan one step at a time.

are a bad thing !! I’m going to freeze them again. I spent so much cash and mostky on food and other things that do not last. The creditcard freezing lasted 1 month and a half. I know I can do better than that because I have done it before (1 year). I decieded I’m going to freeze them again.
The only time I want to use them is for these 3 reasons.

Bus tickets ( to see my friend up north, he has been keeping my sanity in this crazy city and I won’t give him up!)
Plane tickets(to go home if need be)
Emergencies( I have money in a savings account for that but its the just in case)

I accutally have a savings account. Its the first time since I was 17. Yes, I still have my debt but I having a saving account makes me feel like I’m doing something right. Even opened a RSP Mutual account with a start of 70 bucks in it. So proud today.

I say, if you can afford not to be one (i.e., supporting yourself, having paid all your debt-not making new ones), why should you? Enjoy the perks while they last!

:)

But then again I am already financially independent.

;-)

Good luck!

I’m doing well. I’m down about another 700 bucks from the last 2 months. I’m glad about it

Graduating from college without going straight on to grad school thrusts you into the real world with the added pressure that you must take care of yourself.

So i’ve followed the pack…moved away from home, got a job, got an apartment, and am basically supporting myself….so financially independant.

It’s only now that I realize how much effort my parents have put into supporting my needs for the past 22 years. Now it’s time to show them that their hard work has paid off…

i <3 you mom and dad!

I got up and took my credt cards, got a few bags, filled them with water, and froze them. One tiny step away from credit, One HUGE step for me towards independence..
