A blog post entitled: I went from negative to positive
1. By next week I will have no credit card debit and be essentially debt free aside from my insignificant monthly student loan payment. Not that it isn’t a large total sum, I just have very small monthly payments, which I am fine with.
2. I’m a consumer. Not just in the “business vs consumer” kind of way but in the “every day I am finding new things I want to have/eat/see” kind of way. This means I have already made a mental list of things i want to have/eat/see.
3. My tax return is this year is the largest amount I’ve ever received from a tax return. This is not to say it’s amazingly huge. It’s just that I’ve never had a real job before, and never been at a company this long before, so it just makes sense that I’m making more than I have ever made before. So I’ve already made a mental list of things I want to spend my tax return on…
* hackintosh
* trip to Seattle
* bridesmaid dress (not really optional – but I can buy this with money from a paycheclk and not my tax return)
* new rain boots (even though rainy season in LA is pretty much over)
* trip to London
* new glasses
* trip to Oregon (for wedding, also not optional)
* various apparel items I have bookmarked that are so numerous I can’t even list them
