Instead of spending my tax refund this year on something frivolous for myself ( a cute new designer bag, a spa day, a shopping spree) I spent it on outstanding bills that have long been filed as "i don't care about these bills anymore, its been over 3 years". I only really had two bills that have kind of been an albatross on my back. I incurred these debts when i was in my very early twenties and i've meant to pay them all these years but i never could bring myself to do it.
Finally, it's done (well i still have about 2 more payments of 191.33 left). But i should be done with those in the next montht. I'v scheduled the payments through my online bank bill-pay. Now i can honestly say i am up ON TOP of my finances. Well on top of my debt anyways.
Congratulations to me

I'm so into this way of living that I tell myself once my car quits, I'm going to try going it without a car (my current one is paid for, may it last another 10 years, ha-ha). I say it can be done if you "live local"; I actually get excited when I think about doing more walking, plus there's a bus line very close to where I live. My family thinks I'm nuts, of course. My only debt is my mortgage and I'm trying to do about $200 a month extra on the payment, which will cut 10 years off the loan.
I'm rambling. Again, you go, girl. May you succeed in your endeavors and congratulations.
