And So It Begins
Ξ January 10th, 2008 | → | ∇ Blog Updates, About Me |
I always wanted to get out of debt. Or rather, I always wanted to be out of debt. Getting out of debt is what I truthfully didn’t want. I’ve been in debt since college. I got my first credit card in college, and I took out student loans. The idea was that I could build my credit while I was in school and then I could easily pay it off once I finished school and entered the workforce. Funny how things work out though. I graduated college in ‘96 and I’ve been in debt ever since. In fact, I’m still paying on my student loans.
I always meant to get out of debt one day. I even tried paying things off last year. But it was a rough year. My job situation became unstable after early August or so, and I’ve been struggling to get by ever since.
And now I’ve had it. I’m going to get out of debt no matter what it takes. No matter how many hours I have to work or how many pizzas I have to deliver. I’m tired of working and sending off all of my money to pay debts that I’ve been carrying for too long already.
So I started this blog, River of Debt, to chronicle my journey out of debt. Maybe I can encourage someone else in the future to follow me. Or maybe I can get motivation to continue when my resolve starts to weaken.
Nevertheless, welcome to my blog. I’m still working the bugs out of it though. Feel free to comment, good or bad. It only takes a minute to leave a comment and sometimes it makes a world of difference.

Yes, I’m hoping I’m able to put up full disclosure. But I can’t put up my employer’s financial business on here though. Just the personal stuff.
And today is payday, so I better get busy on it, eh?

Well thanks for stopping by, Kevin. I replied to the previous comment just as your comment came, so it’s a little out of order.
Imagine that. I have two readers and one of them commented at the same time as I did. What are the chances.

I’d wish you luck but I don’t think you’ll need it. You seem the type to make sure things happen when you put your mind to it.
Do multiple blogs signify multiple personalities?

You know what, Kelly? That’s probably the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. (The luck part, not the multiple personalities)
Thank you.
