| | Already feeling much better, thanks to such nice comments from my friends, and the following things:
Joined a gym.
I have been paying $20 a month for a membership at Cardinal Fitness, and I haven't been there in 5 months. It just didn't make sense anymore, because I carpool to work now, so I can't stop on the way home from work, and it sort of voids the purpose for carpooling if I drive back there after getting home. Anyway, there is a gym about 3 blocks from my house and I called and checked it out. And went in to try it out last night. AND I got up this morning and went! And although I didn't technically join because I'm still in the trial period, isn't this just about as close as I'm gonna get? Yeah.
Credit card balance is under $400.
When I was 20 I couldn't resist the credit card offers they kept sending me. So I blew the limit on a Sears card. Got a new TV and DVD player, tons of CD's, and a computer. I don't have any of that stuff anymore, but I did have a $3000+ balance at one time. I let the interest go crazy by thinking I could ignore them and they would go away. But I wised up a while back and started sending in money regularly, even $50 pretty consistently. Once that's gone I will be so happy! I can devote more funds to my car payment or school loans. Or a pair of knee high boots, whatever.
Saved $100 per month by switching to a shared plan on Sprint.
Why is this on the list? Because any little victory you can make with a cell phone carrier is quite an accomplishment. But I can't take credit for this one, Tom called and straightened it out. He also charmed them into giving us a $90 credit. So right now I owe them -$22.50. Yeah, negative twenty-two-fifty. Booyakasha.
It's Friday, who can argue with that?
Not me.
