Steps to Being Debt Free...!!!

Hey Y'all,

For a while now I have been trying to get my life back on track financially. I've been doing just that but it hasn't been easy in any means.  I'm also not any closer to calling myself debt free. But I have learned a few things since I made so mistakes so long ago. I'm gonna throw some tips on here to hopefully help others not make my mistakes.

1. Pay on Your Debt - So the first thing that always helps pay off debt is to pay it off as soon as you can. Pay it off the best you can, as soon as you can. I usually make payments as I spend. I think you should never spend more than you can afford to pay back right away. It's the best way you can assure that you don't go into debt.

2. Stop Using Credit Cards - I know, I know. This contradicts what it says above. If you can, cut up your credit cards, close your accounts, and start to pay them off. It's much better for you to close your accounts than to have someone else close them for you. 

3. Use Cash - That's right people. Cold hard cash makes spending it a lot easier because your less likely to spend over your means. It's also harder to spend that cash as well. 

4. Stop Paying with Checks - Trust me, checks are very dangerous if you don't pay attention to it your accounts and how much you are spending. Those checks are way too easy to write and overspend with. I would know. I have done my share of learning my lesson this way. 

Debt is hard to pay off. It's hard to fix and get your life back. Unfortunately you need good credit in order to do anything in life. I've learn that life doesn't teach you how to be good with money. Well unless you have people to teach you the importance of money and how to save money. But I never had that. I wish I had but I didn't.

Nine Lives too Short....!!!

Hey Everyone I've been working on making  on completing my job applications. Which would be a lot easier if I kept all my references in one place. But no, crazy organized girl can't seem to do that. Wow, that's just sad. I'll have to get some kind of system going on to keep all my current information together. Then bye bye crazy application problems. I signed up to take my Driver's License Test. I guess that's big news. I finally be able to drive. Which will be great for college, work, and smaller endeavors.  I'm super nervous. I feel so much could go wrong. The worst that could happen is that I can't parallel park or I can't follow the instructor's commands which should be pretty basic.I hope it is anyway. I've been keeping in contact with my boyfriend who lives in Fort Myers. Haha. Talk about long distance. I think I've been doing a pretty good job so far because I've kept in touch with him and I text him almost everyday.  I r...

Worst Movie Ever...!!!

Hey Readers, So last night, my little sister and I watched a redbox movie that has been laying around the room for days now, waiting to be watched. It was the worst movie I have ever seen. The move was called Snow White and the Huntsman. It was probably the worst movie ever made. It was slow, nothing really interesting happened in the whole entire time we watched it. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep for about an hour, when I awoke, the movie was still playing with barely any progress. Kristin Stewart did a terrible job of acting. I don't even care enough to make sure her name is spelled right, I apologize to any of my readers who like her or at least her acting. I don't really envy her all that much because she sucks at acting, literally. The man who played the Huntsman was a little better but not exactly the best either. I'm pretty sure though that he played Thor, which I actually enjoyed very much. But this movie was outdrawn, too long...

The Book List!

Hey, So now I've limited my Book List to possibly five must read books in the coming weeks ahead. As most of you know, I've started  Linger and I am on page 109 of 360. So I have a ways to go yet but I'm really excited about it. Here are the other books on my list. 1. Heist Society 2. Raised by Wolves 3. Revolution 4. Eldest 5. Marley & Me I am so excited that this is what I want to read most right now as of for April and May. I have until May 10th to read them all. I hope I can make it to the due date. Right now, I want to finish Linger and start Heist as soon as possible. I also have a ton of books from the Library on Miscellaneous things like Pomeranian's, Shiba Inu's, Bernese Mountain Dog's, Great Danes, Dog Training, Manga, and etc. It's a rather large list and I'll probably end up taking  most of the books back before I ever get a chance to read them like I always do. What can I say, I love books. Love Britt <3
