You are being shown a solution that so far, you have been unable to comprehend. Though the implementation of this solution requires courage, willpower and perhaps even a temporary sacrifice, you will see how it makes sense.

bye bye student loan
Posted in finances, tagged debt, RRSP, Student loan on March 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So I called the bank today to cash in some of my RRSPs. After the giant chunk of tax was taken out, I now have enough money to get my chequing account out of overdraft (it’s just over -$600) and pay off my student loan (finally!!) which is $1991.12.
That will save me $237.82 per month [...]

Not that I count random mystery shops as a job, but when you do something for money, that counts as a job right?
Anyways, so now I have my full time admin job with a salary and benefits, I have my occasional mystery shop job where I make tiny amounts of cash in exchange for my [...]
Insurance rebate (never thought I’d see the day)
Posted in finances, tagged closet, Free Time EP, Free Time Expansion Pack, Insurance, Rebate, Sims 2 on March 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Apparently my insurance company owed me some money from when I cancelled my renter’s appartment insurance (now that mom’s home insurance covers all our crap).
Got a cheque in the mail for $45.99. Have put it towards my Sims game and my new closet. (That’s right, games before clothes. I’ve got my priorities straight).
Airmiles = new clothes

So it’s official. I’m broke.
Here’s how it went down.
Got around to talking to the man this morning about cashing in my RRSP’s ($12,000 minus the taxes we’d have to pay on the withdrawal) to pay down a couple of our high interest credit cards (Mappins for wedding & engagement rings – aprox $5000, Sears for [...]

countin up the change

I’m going to cash in all the pennies and coins in my piggy bank (yes, I literally have a pink plastic pig I put my pennies and other assorted change and foreign currency in) and see how much I have. I’d like to buy a copy of The Sims 2: Free Time, but I’m going [...]
no rollerblades for me
Posted in finances, tagged broke, closet, money, overdraft, rollerblades on March 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
At least not any time soon. The rack in my closet collapsed about a week after we moved into my mom’s so my clothes have been in a heap in my closet, trapped between a wire basket system and the upper bar which is still hanging on by one side. I have no where else [...]
