More on being debt free
I tried to post this as a comment but, unfortunately the system wouldn’t let me.
So, that really was great advice and I thank you for it. (I hope everyone reads it…it was the first comment to my last post.) I’ve actually been doing just what you said. Luckily, the two credit cards that I use have 0% interest rates for at least a few more months. I have been paying as much as I can on one card (trying to get it to zero) and paying at least the minimum balance on the other (so they don’t punish me by raising my interest rates!) Hopefully they will be cleared before the rates go up. And, fortunately, I am in a period of job transfer over the next couple of months that will increase my income. So, for the months of May and June I will have extra money to put towards my credit cards and then after that I will hopefully have a new job that pays more and I love. Here’s hoping!
AS for that house you are saving for…keep at it. As I said before, I bought a condo in January and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Not only am I no longer “throwing my money away” in rent (which everyone will point out to you at least three hundred times) but I love the feeling of it being my home. There have been many times when, instead of hitting the town and spending money like crazy, I have chosen to stay in my hoome, sit on my couch and drink a glass of wine or two. It’s truly fabulous! I hope you are keeping us up to date on your progress. And if you need a good real estate agent or a mortgage guy, just ask!
