Day 158




I actually failed on EVERY goal last month

1. pay bills on time -- nope!
2. buy a washer & dryer -- I bought a $2400 computer, biz expense needed...other one crashed
3. no movie rentals -- ugh!
4. blog at least three times a week -- ugh!!!
5. pay off future shop bill -- I owe just over $100. I should have paid it
6. no new clothing -- I bought cloths for work
7. get child support -- still no success here - he doesn't want to pay
8. finish reading 'managing debt' -- I'm pretty much done

New month new goals and lets hope I do a lot better this month. I would like to watch more debt programs. I really like them, they motivate me and I learn form them. I actually watch them writing notes for myself.

Today I watched 'Maxedout' and it's a Canadian show. I have not thought about where I spend most of my money but is on my business. In Oct I spent over $3000 on new equipment. This month I will spend about $2000 in new equipment. It's really eating into what's left for debt payment. 

totally feeling like a failure I need to forget last month and try again with new November goals

1. I will not rent any movies
2. Blog at least three times a week (helps me to focus)
3. Watch as many debt programs as my schedule allows
4. I will not buy new clothing (winter boots not included...needed)
5. Read more on debt with the books I have
6. The Future Shop bill will be paid off

I do have a few expenses this month for the business. I'd love to buy that needed washer and dryer so I can stop using my mothers but I'm not sure I'll have the money. I still need to pay the deposits on my hydro and gas bills bills for the home and commercial space. The commercial space gas deposit is $500! YIKES!!! I think I need to consider ways to make more money :(

I did spent less than $10 today...I need more days like this

Total Debt paid: still not sure but hopefully I'l figure it out tomorrow

Well... things will get better with time. Sometimes you just get set back and you can't help it.

BTW, Maxed Out isn't as great (for me) as Til Debt Do Us Part (you can watch them on slice.ca)

Sorry to hear your October didn't go as well as planned :) Good luck throughout this month though!!

I agree with Fabulously Broke -- Til Debt do us part is my favorite!! :)

I look forward to watching your progress! :)
