Minor annoyances and major victories

[jchrisobrien]

Feeling generally poor the past few days.  A possible sickness is creeping up on me, and that cannot happen this weekend.
Mentally, things have been a little scary.  This can quickly be put right too, if I can find the time.

Now, for the good.  My credit card balance is officially at 0.00.  Stage 2 of the Finance Wars has been won.  The next campaign will be waged against the Federal; it will be a long fight but it's defeat is guaranteed, probably within the year. 

Does anyone really ever get out of debt?  I doubt it.  I'll take my A for effort, though.

the benefits of a Canadian education? ;)
My car is all paid off too. Such happiness!

A Canadian education that was funded by part time jobs, scholarships, grants and a few loans that were paid back a lot faster than they wanted me to. :)
I actually bought my old used car with money from my investments, and then took out a loan to refill the investments and so could claim the interest payments back against my taxes. My investment counselor rocked, but I have no idea if I could do that here. :)
So, yeah, for me it's all about managing the money I have. :) And not being issued a credit card until I was at my first real job after university for over a year probably helped a lot as well. :)
