Realizations

I just figured out that I will have my student loan paid off in full after my March payment. That is a beautiful thing! I have one smaller credit card and a LARGE credit card to go til I am free and clear. I LOVE that I will progress to only two monthly payments! Although they are going to increase monthly since one payment will be gone... Still! It's good to know that ONE will be gone gone gone!

So I have realized my self defeating ways. Now what to do? That part I do not know but I think in time I can work through it. I hope so anyways...

Tonight R and I are going to Barnes and Noble to look around and then we are going to get dinner. Yum! I am going to invest in a couple training books and go from there... I now need to find some time to dedicate to just reading! That is harder than it seems because I am in such a rut of coming home from work and sitting on the couch with a glass or two of wine... Ah, habits! I need them to be more productive! Knowing is half the battle I suppose. haha

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Great progress. I remember how I felt when I finally re-paid my student loan. It is hard to get active after you have worked all day.

You can order stuff through the library if they don't have it at your library. Usually they have it in the system and they will email you when it comes in. I bet it doesn't hurt to ask! I U!

Save your money by going to the library. What a great source of information! You should be proud of yourself.

Good going! Those student loans can be hard to get paid. You are headed in the right direction toward financial freedom and a new career.

sounds like a great evening to me!

Kristy, you are a smart woman. I know you can do more than 'make a living'. We do get stuck in jobs for the simple fact that we have to pay bills. but it sounds like you are making plans to fix that. It might take time but never lose sight of the dream.

That's great news! And yes, it's tough to stay away from the couch after a hard day at the office. But look at the progress you have already made. And think of the future you are creating! Just have the wine after you read. LOL Happy Friday!

Happy Friday, kid!
I remember when I first started blogging, and you were distraught about your debts. Looks like you're making progress!!! Just keep plugging away at it. Consistency is the key.

I looked for the main book I want at the library - they don't have it... good idea though!
and yeah, that's the issue... after 2 glasses of wine I am not going to be absorbing anything I read...

What about the library? Would they have anything that would help? You don't have to buy those books.

After 2 glasses of wine, I don't see you reading much
