Friends and money | So Sick of Debt

https://sosickofdebt.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/friends-and-money

So Sick of Debt. April 23, 2009 at 10:22 pm · Filed under Ask the reader? Not a cent has yet been forthcoming! I asked hubby about it when they got back. He said his friend had told him that he hadn’t been paid correctly and so didn’t have the money yet, but that he would get him the cash `in a couple of days’. It’s not a small amount, at least not to us – it’s $360 for his flights that we are waiting on. What does everyone else think? Am I being unreasonable? 4 Comments ». April 23, 2009 @ 11:54 pm.

Time for a new look | So Sick of Debt

https://sosickofdebt.wordpress.com/2009/04/10/time-for-a-new-look

So Sick of Debt. Time for a new look. April 10, 2009 at 10:17 pm · Filed under Planning. Well, I haven’t posted for a while, and to be honest, the reason is that I was bored. Not so much with saving and tracking our money, but with this site. So a new look was in order – hopefully, that’ll clear out the cobwebs and hopefully you like it and it remains easy to read. I’m back at work now and very focused on our goals at the moment, due in part to the imminent arrival of two cheques. 5 Comments ». Enter you...

Over and above … | So Sick of Debt

So Sick of Debt. Over and above …. June 2, 2009 at 8:25 am · Filed under Uncategorized. Well, today we hit $16,165 in our home deposit account and in so doing, we jumped over the end of our savings ticker ($15,000). This was always a bit of an artificial goal because we want to save way more than this, but it is still a bit of a milestone for me. So it is a red letter day for my husband and I. So what are our plans? Go towards our deposit. We also expect to get about $5000 back from overpaid tax and chil...

Well, you know how I formulated a debit acount that we would pay money back to instead of our credit card? So I’m out $20 and might as well be back in the old days of revolving credit card debt! Well we got a bunch of bills at once and there wasn’t enough in our billpaying account to cover it all. I kept ho...Anyway,...

We actually enjoyed each other’s company (most of the time! While it’s always lovely to be back, we had a blast on our trip. Cruising around the islands, dining on freshly-caught crab, squid and fish, swimming at the odd well-protected inlet … it was like paradise. Two jobs for today:.

Well, you know how I formulated a debit acount that we would pay money back to instead of our credit card? Well, this month … when push came to shove … I was so wary of actually taking the money out of this account that suddenly the end of the month arrived and I got charged interest on the credit card purchases!

So Sick of Debt. Hard to believe …. June 14, 2009 at 12:29 am · Filed under achievements. I think today I just realised that we have more than $16,000 ready to buy a home, nearly $5000 in an emergency fund, and at least $6000 in other accounts for a range of purposes! I know I posted these figures recently, but today I really just looked at them properly and really thought about how much it took to get here. It might not sem like a lot of money to some people, but to us it is like reaching Everest! Event...

A good day | So Sick of Debt

So Sick of Debt. May 5, 2009 at 9:53 am · Filed under Uncategorized. Anyway, the other news is that I had my fortnightly pay, my Aussie stimulus cheque ($900) and my child care rebate ($1460) all arrive in my account on the same day! This means we have been able to:. 1) make the voluntary retirement contribution of $1000 – this means at the end of the financial year the goverment will add $1200-$1500 to my retirement account! We could buy some blue chips like Woolworths or one of Australia’s big fo...
