Man, time flies. I’ve completed 10 full months of this and now we’ve entered the 11th month. This is going so much faster than I thought it would. I actually wrote this post last Sunday, but the computer crashes when I got to the end before I saved it so I was too pissed off to even look at the computer again. Oh well, time to see how I did in October.

I didn’t do so well last month. A few things popped up that I had to take care of including a vet visit and puppy medication. The puppy needs a public health plan ’cause that stuff is eXXXpensive. It’s obscene how expensive pet meds are. Anyway so that went onto the credit card. I also had to get a new pair of glasses and I broke a tooth so I had to pay for those things as well. Come to thing of it, forget the puppy! I need a public health plan. πŸ™‚ I pretty much just paid the minimums on everything else. I had three goals last month. Let’s see how I did.

1) Get car note below $1,500 DONE
2) Student Loan #1 under $2,000 RATS!
3) Credit Card #1 below $300 RATS!

Next month you’ll see a personal loan pop up again. If you bid on my Prosper loan thank you! I guess I should get up some goals for November. Ah how tring to finish the last two I missed? Sounds good to me! I hope nothing else crazy pops up out of nowhere.
