Having Faith In Myself

by debt kid on October 31, 2007

A little voice keeps telling me over and over, “what you’re doing isn’t worth anything” and “your ideas are just common” or “no one will ever pay for that…”
I have to break this chain of thinking. I got so much done today it was awesome! I also didn’t ever go to sleep last night! My [...]

Love Finance Blogs? Check out this list!

by debt kid on October 30, 2007

I’ve been doing some part-time writing for Lending Club (kinda a side-job thing! helps pay for my place to sleep!) and spent a good amount of time putting together a list of the Top 30 Most Popular Finance Bloggers.
So…did I make the list?
No, I don’t consider this a finance blog. Plus, I wouldn’t have made [...]

Why I (still) Want To Be Rich Someday

by debt kid on October 30, 2007

A few years ago I wanted to be rich now. Now as in yesterday now. That led to some really destructive behaviors and the resulting 300K+ of debt I find myself in now.
But I still want to be rich.
Is this a bad thing? I don’t think so. I was talking with my friend who knows [...]

Drinking Again

by debt kid on October 25, 2007

Yesterday I discovered something very wrong with my body…
I was completely dehydrated. Yep. No water to be found. Well, I’m sure I had some water in me, but you know what I mean.
So, while I was grocery shopping I found these giant 1 gallon refreshe water jugs that were a buck a piece. I bought [...]

What This Bankruptcy Means To Me

by debt kid on October 24, 2007

Sometimes I feel like the most screwed up 24 year old on the planet. I finished my bankrupcty paperwork last week, and I honestly haven’t thought about it since then.
A Bankruptcy is supposed to be like somewhere in the top 5 most traumatic life events right? I swear I read that somewhere, maybe I’m nuts. [...]

Bankruptcy Fees: Expensive!

by debt kid on October 23, 2007

I finally got all my bankruptcy paperwork finished last week and mailed off to the lawyer I’ve been working with. I could have swore I remembered the fee being $1,000 when we had a meeting a few months ago.
It’s $1500 + $299 Filing Fee.
Yikes. I have a family member who has offered to cover [...]

The Tilt AT&T Phone – What Motivates Me

by debt kid on October 22, 2007

So, I’ve decided I need to motivate myself a little more. While one would think just getting out of debt would be enough motivation, it isn’t. It’s a big chunk of motivation, but lets face it, I need more. So, I’m going to profile some stuff I want, and the goals I have to hit [...]

One more thing…

by debt kid on October 19, 2007

Oh, and I’m cranky because my stupid bed set that I got for cheap on craigslist is twin sized. Not twin-extra long….just twin.
I’m frickin 72″ long and so is my bed. It’s just not working out. (and yet I’m still very thankful to not be living in my office anymore. amen to that. but my [...]

I want a time machine. Darn It!

by debt kid on October 19, 2007

Or at least something to speed up time.
Sometimes I feel like I’m just waiting….waiting for tomorrow. Waiting for next week. Always working, yet always waiting.
Today was not the best day. A potential partner fell through on my Plan A project. It’s not a huge deal, it was just disappointing. I think the problem is that [...]

Disaster avoided I go for a walk

by debt kid on October 17, 2007

So, my car died over the weekend. Or so I thought it died. I thought it was a dead alternator…turns out it was just a dead battery. Having some extra time I decided to get the oil changed since my good fortune left me with a bit of extra budget (I was expecting a few [...]
