I find myself happy that now I'm working at the college and making good money. But I'm still sad, and slightly depressed, that the good money is going to paying off debt from Allon and Oregon- two situations I wish I never would have gotten in to, but glad I got out of. Slowly but surely my debts are clearing up as I pay them off, but sometimes it seems never ending. Another 100 here, another 250 there. I spend money like I have it, but I really don't. Debt means I owe money, and I owe too much to be eating at Quiznos every other day for lunch, or buying five dollar stockings that I will never wear. Yes, I need to give up the luxuries I've allowed myself and focus on what's important- paying off my debts and improving my credit.
Today I was reading on a couple of webistes how paying off debt could hurt your credit score even more. I'm not worried about it. My credit score is not that great. I am paying off my debt because I have the obligation (financially and morally) to do so. Soon, within a year or so, it will all be paid off except for one student loan, which I don't mind taking longer to pay. Then I can save money to buy a car and I will be set. In the meantime, I need to work out a plan for the Wedding (it's only four months away). I've started reading Susan's blog, Farmgirl Fare, and it's inspired me to become a better person. Save money, help my community, help myself. The Longview Public Library has a volunteer program to help adults learn to read and write. I want to get involved. And Deana will have her child in March or April. I haven't decided whether or not I will help her, but I probably will. She is my sister, afterall, and it isn't her fault that she is the way she is.
