I continue to feel motivated to save and pay off debt. However, I am just starting to realize how slow-going everything is. There is a lot of waiting that is involved, isn’t there? I have been looking at my spending/saving for the last week or so, and there really isn’t much to report. I can’t wait till the end of the month when I get paid and can repay my sister and start sending money off to credits cards.
A few updates –
The retirement thing has sort of worked itself out. After calling about 3 times, I reached someone who knew what she was doing and my retirement account is linked back again to my social security number. I can’t access it yet, because they had to reissue me a PIN that will arrive in the mail in 2-3 weeks. But she assured me on the phone that I had about $8700 in the account not counting interest.
I have earned 3 Swagbucks this month already. It’s quite nice.
I have had lots of no-spend days, and the plan to eat frugally at home is working out beautifully thus far. We are eating a lot of bean soups.
My best friend is taking me out to a belated birthday dinner because she was not in town for my birthday. That will be nice.
Slow Going
