Wow, haven’t been here awhile! Although over my holiday I’ve had access to the internet, I just haven’t been arsed writing a blog. I don’t need to put down my thoughts all the time, right?
This past week I’ve been in Hastings visiting my Mum and sister. My sister had school so I didn’t spend much time with her during the day, although she had Friday off, so I shouted her to the movies. We went and saw Shrek 4. It’s not half bad, I mean, as always the first one was better, but this last one wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I won’t even attempt to write about it, because I don’t want to ruin it for anyone!
I didn’t do a shit load on my stay. A lot of the time I just sat and watched TV, went online and played Facebook games1 and just bummed around in general. Now I’m home, with 2.5 days left of my holidays, and IDK what I should do.
As calving is coming up, I should probably get some sleep in! But I really don’t want to. As much as I love sleeping, I would like to go out and.. like my last post said “party”. xD But who with? Issues issues issues.
My boyfriend has made a budget for me. With the amount of money he has put aside to pay off my car.. I should be debt free within a year2. And I do have money left over for myself after my bills and savings. And it is a lot3. Considering I don’t have to buy much food anymore, as dinner is made most nights, and in a few weeks it’ll be every night, I only have to buy breakfast, and now I’m on a diet, healthy snacks etc. I have a separate food / recreation / car budget. So I have basically all my needs covered.
I just have to cut back on the food4 and the amount of money I spend on my phone. My phone is on a monthly plan, and it doesn’t tell me when I’ve run out of texts or call minutes, so if I forget to check.. I go way over how much it should cost monthly. Hopfully this budget he’s made will cut back on how long I’m debt for, but still allow me to be a teenager when I get the chance5.
For any readers6 here are some questions;
- Do you have any debt? Credit cards, loans, student loans etc? I have a loan I used to buy my car, and a credit card, but I manage the credit card easily and pay it off every month if not sooner.
- If yes, how long will it take to pay it off? Without Jared’s budget, it’ll take about 3-4 years on the minimum rate I’m paying now.
- Do you have spending issues? I like to waste money on food.
- Can you afford to pay off your debt faster then your bank wants you too? Yes, I could maybe even pay it off in 6 months if I didn’t want to have any savings. But instead I am chosing to pay it off over a year, and save money at the same time.
And that is all. xD

Ahh, debt, I hate even thinking about it. It is great that Jared has been able to help you with your budget though with such a great result!
I have a credit card and a loan. I could pay them off faster but I splurge on junk all the time… considering doing a balance transfer on my credit card though to a lower interest card. Just a bit lazy though.
