Default Celebrating! The end of credit card and all unsecured debt!
Whoo hoooo, I cannot believe it!!

I got my performance bonus and I paid my last unsecured debt, a visa credit card!
My only debt oustanding in the whole world: 7,654.42 for my 2006 Honda Civic.

Now it is off to create a 3mo EF, I need 12k for that. I have $2000

I had a blow to my budget...long thorny story I had some moneys coming from my ex which are in jeopardy right now. It is ok, I have a plan B.

Meanwhile I need to work on the websites I won the bids for so I can demostrate myself I can do this while keeping my day job and my sanity. April 2011 I am going part time to pick up my son at noon!!!

May the Lord come with me each step of the way and help me help my stupid self!

You're very welcome. Glad if I was able to help in any way.

We are all constantly learning. You never know it all.

Great!

At first I misread "long thorny story I had some monkeys coming." Of course, I wanted to hear the long, thorny story behind that! Monkeys arriving could wreak havoc on a fragile budget.

Hey Joan! Thank you too my friend!... so funny, yes monkeys need to stay away from my budget.
I sometimes call my son my little monkey...Him alone is a $800 envelope in my budget! 3 more years for publis school...;-) oh, and Potty training, his butt alone is $80/month. My little monkey!
