hooray for me

Personal May 22nd, 2008

I’m proud of myself. I finally paid off some of my credit card and student loan debts. I had put them off for a while due to my financial situation (very very BAD), but I finally got myself to scrape some money together and go through the process of paying them online.

It feels better to get rid of some of that debt!

Now to keep on making those monthly payments…

Thanks for the free money!

Cash Money, originally uploaded by vyxle.

Okay, not really free, per se. I just got my Economic Stimulus Payment direct deposited into my account. It’s nice to get a little padding in my cash flow.

Now what am I going to do with my newfound booty? There are several suggestions out there. I should either pay down some of my current debt or sock it away into my emergency savings funds (which I have slowly been building back up)… I really like the idea to “invest into career development.” That could actually be what I really need right now.

But isn’t the point of getting this cash to spend it? You know, help actually stimulate the economy? Okay. I’m down with that. What to buy? What to buy? Make a large purchase? Or spend it on a number of random smaller purchases? Food? Gas? Clothes?

Um… I actually have been wanting to get a new digital camera. Maybe I should do some research first… but I’m inclined to get a Sony Cyber-shot. I don’t know why, really… the Sony brand has just been growing on me, I guess.

Well either way, I’m glad I have some extra cash!
