Change is scary. It’s different and we don’t like to do it. That’s probably why we don’t do things involving change very often. We shy away from it. We rarely embrace it.
I’ve decided it’s time to embrace change in my life. Hell, I’ve got a huge life change coming up [...]

As of this morning, my credit card debt is now completely paid off!
Of course, I still have a mortgage, a car loan, a student loan and a wedding to pay for! It’s not like I can go on a spending spree!

Keep an eye on my debt meter over the next week. Since the bill payments are in, I feel confident to announce this publicly.

Tomorrow, my debt meter will read I have $200 remaining.
On 2/28 (next Wednesday), it will read $0 remaining.

I found this website throught the Boston Globe. It’s interesting. You share your net worth and you comment on others, asking questions or offering advice. I’ve just started peeking around and I think I might review the site on Money Stuffed in the upcoming weeks. Work is starting to ease up [...]

Things got pretty insane at work when I got back from vacation and hasn’t really let up. I don’t expect it to let up until some time after July 15th when this product deadline is reached. I’m flying out to Maryland (Bethesda) next Tuesday, staying one night, and flying home on Wednesday. [...]

I had my second knitting class last night. I brought in a pattern off knitty.com which is supposedly an easy first project. I bought the yarn at Knit Picks, as recommended by palmetto. The yarn I picked was Vacation in turquoise and taupe. The yarn is incredibly soft and [...]
