I’m back

Ted 

It’s been quite a while since my last post. And my debt has been growing.

I’m fully aware I’ve been getting myself further into debt, but I’m also happier than I’ve been in a long time. The debt is manageable on a week to week basis, but I need to start putting away some money for the future, so I’m keener than ever to kick this debt in the butt.

Since my last post I have :

  • moved house
  • gone without a home internet connection for two months
  • celebrated Christmas and new year
  • Been on a couple of 4 day camping trips
  • Bought a Kayak on my credit card
  • Gone away to the mainland for a 5 day weekend (ony paid for airfare and food)
  • Gone away to the mainland for work three times (fully paid by work)
  • Blown out my debt to worse that it was when I started this site.
  • Got myself a girlfriend (she is/was living on said mainland, hence 5 day weekend)
  • Booked a 7 night overseas holiday for myself and girlfriend (more debt)
  • Provisionally sold a couple of domain names I don’t need any more.

There’s probably a few more things that I haven’t mentioned, but it’s been a busy time.

Watch this space.

    Dude, you’re depressing me.

    I’m in your boat, so-to-speak, but you seriously are a victim to credit cards. With all this refinancing shit and government change-over, Fanny Mae Freddy FuckinMack, you’d think there would be something in place to balance the injustices of credit card debt.

    The payments don’t really change the debt. It’s flawed.

    Good luck! Enjoy the ladies.
