I Was A Good Boy And My Credit Card Balance Didn’t Go Down

I’ve been a little bit dark on myself for the last few days since I did my April Status Report.

The only indulgance for the whole month was a new cell phone (and I’m about to sell the old one for $30). But somehow my credit card balance rose by over $700.

I need to get settled into my new home, well when I find one, but that’s another story. Once I’m settled I can get a proper budget happening. I’ll know what’s coming in and what’s going out.

The only downside of moving is that I’ll be paying rent again, which is chunk of cash I could be diverting to my credit cards. But as I’ve said before there are certain things I won’t sacrifice to reduce my debt.

I like living on my own, I like spending time in my own company, If I was sharing with someone I’d be finding something to do to get away from them every now and then and that would ultimately cost money.

I need to think of other ways to make or save money.

I need to be free of my credit card debts, If I could put the money I spent in interest and the money I pay in rent together, I could service a decent home mortgage, or buy a boat, or a new(er) car.

I need to make some changes.

I need to escape this credit card round about.

I think I’ll open my cheap(ish) wine now.
