the fact that you're Canadian is probably the only reason you are still alive if you asked for a raise

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

Funny. He told me he was tripling your salary. YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.

I have a problem pk...

I love to travel.


A few more trips to the States slated for this year(Vegas, and Montana-golf trip), maybe Australia/New Zealand next year early Jan...or South America: Argentina and Brazil...we'll see.

Family wants to do a trip too. We were thinking Portugal, but maybe we'll just do Hawaii instead.

My friends are still trying to convince me to come to Italy with them for a few weeks in June. Pretty sure with the finances as they are...not going to happen.

Was just on the ol' online banking.

Running total for the year (since Jan 01) on the VISA = $8,900ish

Then there's the mortgage, car payment, bills, food, gas...


No wonder I have no money.




And I can't even blame Obama...



Time to buckle up and dedicate 100% of your life towards paying down debt, mortgage included. Make sacrifices and claim that financial freedom.

Cancel all the trips. Entice friends to come to you if they're in a position to. You won't see it now, but you're really just prolonging your financial hardships.

You'll love to travel more when you've gone through the disciplined practice of paying that debt off and staying out of debt. It will feel even better than a few vacations.

Selling my house...done quite well on the interest rate: variable prime minus 0.5% so I've managed to pay off quite a bit.


So hopefully I'll net a pocket full of cash on that. The problem is I have to live somewhere, so I'll probably dump a ton of it back into another mortgage+house. The rental rates around here...are insane. Cheaper to buy a place and pay a mortgage than to pay rent on a similar home.


I wish I was debt free...I really do. Just not sure how people do it. My mortgage hangs over my head like a guillotine.
