Last summer was me just trying to survive. This summer needs to be about me beginning to thrive. All the pieces are in place now. I’ve met more friends lately and feel I actually have some semblance of [...]

It’s been a very emotional past few days for me. I totally crashed on Saturday night and realized some major issues I needed to address. I wrote a nice long post about it, but I’m keeping it private. Even for an anonymous blog, some things are just too personal, you [...]

First off, the customer service people that I’ve dealt with at Toyota Financial have been great. Some of their policies however, are just plain silly.
My current vehicle is a Scion Xb that I purchased new about 2 1/2 years ago. Yes, it was a dumb purchase, I of course realize that now.
When I purchased the [...]

What I’d Tell My 18-Year Old Self

by debt kid on May 7, 2008

I was in the shower yesterday, I try to shower everyday. All my good ideas either come in the shower, or at like 2am at night while I’m laying in bed.
Maybe that’s the only time my brain slows down enough to really be creative…I don’t know. But all my businesses successes have come from either [...]
