As my seven blog friends know I'm a rabid, crazy fan of the X-Files, so I'm too ready for the movie. I have prepared myself with articles, forums, trailers, TV episodes and fan fiction for two months and now it's here!
Tomorrow I'm going to see the movie and I can't wait. I am going to enjoy it and enjoy myself and not think of anything negative. I have decided against that.
My money problems have swamped me. I missed a payment on a CC, *idiot* and somehow forgot to pay the phone bill *double idiot* so there's going to be a lot of money going out this month and not much coming in. GULP! I am determined to get out from under my CC debt. I can't take it anymore. This time next year I plan on being debt free, or at least still paying on my loan as my primary bill. I plan on only using my Capital One credit card as my only credit card and giving way to Chase, Discover, and Citi Card.
I have had several epiphanies about my debt, but I am tired of it. And if you recall how my sister fucked up my credit by using my SS# and thus defaulting on those cards, I have now had to take over paying on those cards so that's now 2 more bills I didn't need. If I had the courage I'd use more of my savings to pay but I just can't do it, I need that savings to be there when I need it. Sigh. Give me hope and faith people! I need it!
Anyhoo, God bless the X-Files and God bless the Weekend. I'll be back to tell you how the movie was. :)Labels: debt, money, weekend, x-files |
Honestly, GunnGirl, I'd have thought that you would have been the first one in line to see X-files. :)
Getting out of debt is hard. We live in a culture that pushes spending and a debt mentality. It can be done though. I found that it helped to look at my credit scores often so that I can at least see improvement over time. I also got a credit card by Washington Mutual that gave me a monthly FICO score - I watched my score go up over a 100 points in a year!
