Rollin'
Man I hate being busy at work. Makes it so I have less time to steal time… mmmm time theft.
So what’s been going on…
My hockey team this winter kicks ass. We’ve won both our games so far. We just dominate the other teams. We don’t have anyone who’s never played before. That’s a huge help. Some of the other teams have people who don’t know what offside is. My new stick is tits too. I love it. It handles so much better than my old wood one. We have a game tonight against the only team in the division we haven’t played yet. If we win this one easily, it’s going to be a win filled season.
I’m out of the American car game now for good. We got rid of our 2001 Saturn L200 and got ourselves a 2007 Hyundai Elantra SE. It’s really nice. I like it a lot. It’s a five-speed manual as well, so it’s a fun drive. It’s black like our Tucson, and has nice little extras like steering wheel controls, telescoping wheel, trip computer, 16 inch AL wheels. Nothing super fancy, but a good, safe, reliable, value.
Thanksgiving’s coming up here pretty soon. My parents and my wife’s mom and sister are coming down. I’ve got my menu all planned out. (If I had a chance to redo my carrier I’d have either been a chef or a plumber). On Wed my Dad and I are going to see Casino Royal, the new Bond movie. I’ve seen all of the current Bond movies in the theatre so I have to go to this one.
And I’ve put together a plan to get rid of all my fucking credit card debt. The way I figure, with this new plan I should have it all paid off by March of 2008. Dirty credit card companies with their extension of $6500 of credit to a college student… I guess I just don’t have the willpower to not buy shit I can’t afford. I should say I didn’t have the willpower when I was 20 years old. 5 years and a child have given me some perspective.
Or something along those lines

It's safe to say I have been credit card debt free for 2 years. I pay cash for shit or pay it all off. On the outside, I may sound a little extravagant with the H3 and wine thing but deep inside I am a cheap bastard. I never over step my finances. I came out of college 8500 in credit card debt and spent many years playing catch up. I can thank the real estate bubble for helping me out after we sold our first house for good profit. It's good to get out. It is amazing how much you pay in interest!!!

I can't say I know the feeling of being in credit card debt since I never had any debt until I bought a car and a house. And I hated paying 11.9% on my 48-month car loan and 10.5% on my house loan. The only thing worth borrowing against is an investment like your home, where the long-term return should exceed the cost of borrowing. Otherwise, pay off all balances at the end of the month or pay then down as quickly as you can.
