Welcome GRS Fans…I’m in debt. Gulp.

If you’re visiting here from JD’s fantastic site, you’ll need a quick catch-up on my story:

but first, don’t forget to subscribe silly.

  1. I thought I was the next Warren Buffet and traded away over $250K mostly using credit.
  2. I hit rock bottom and started this journal to document my journey back to zero
  3. I short sold my house after it went into foreclosure. I have some pride issues sometimes.
  4. I work alot. But I have too if I’m ever going to get out of debt. For the most part I really enjoy working.
  5. I lived in my office for about 2 months after selling my house. Good times were had. I became a little anal.
  6. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with everything, but then I get nice comments like this from readers (see Shel)
  7. I sometimes like to rant about women (and my lack/difficulty in dating)

Well, that should at least get you started. My most current update? My Ch. 7 Bankruptcy went through, and my personal finances are actually looking pretty good now. I’m meeting with an IRS agent next week to map out the 18K that I owe them. Should be fun! Thanks for visiting…

and don’t forget to subscribe….

I love his site, great writeup!

What stuck out to me in the above 7 items is that you love working. That’s gotta make you a million times better off than the majority of people out there. Enjoying what you do is priceless.

@ Shel – Yeah, I know, it’s strange….but I love being an entrepreneur. If it wasn’t for my past day trading habits, I’d be a young, successful, small business owner. I guess I am still that….but not really successful, you know?

I’m pretty hard on myself. I expect incredibly high things from myself, and people think I’m doing great, but I don’t always see it that way. I’m working on it. Anywho, thanks for the comment.

I’ll be following your journey, and I wish you luck.

Maybe you could link back to Get Rich Slowly in this post and even in your sidebar.
