Finally Free

Friday, July 31st, 2009

  What a feeling!  I’m finally free of credit card debt.  I’m not debt free yet, but no more credit card debt.  I no longer use that ugly, little piece of plastic unless I need to purchase via the Internet.  And then, I only use it if I already have the money in the bank […]

Disappearing Credit Card Debt

Friday, July 10th, 2009

  It’s almost gone!  I’ve been running into the mainland to put in an extra shift for the last two weeks and have more lined up.  The plan is to pay off the credit card by the end of this month.  It’s not the last debt, but this brings it down to two.  By the […]

Mainly on the Mainland

Friday, April 17th, 2009

I’ve spent a lot of time on the mainland this past week.  Since I need to be over all next week, I’ve decided to stay at one of the local inns.  It’s too much of a hassle to commute from the island on a daily basis.  I will only have sporadic access to a computer, […]

Do You Need a Second Job?

Friday, March 27th, 2009

I don’t know if I need a second job, but I do want one.  I’m managing to do more than just get by.  I’ve learned to live below my means and am in the process of paying down debt.  I keep looking at how many years it’s still going to take me to become debt free […]
