summer cleaning.

Just over a week ago, I set up a meeting with my banking advisor to discuss my finances and debt. I was hoping to get all my loans/credits/debts/etc consolidated to one bill and to have a couple extra dollars for emergencies that come up around the house.

Today, I got the unfortunate news that this will not be happening.

My advisor kept reassuring me that I have "good debt" and my credit is "great", but unfortunately at this time they cannot offer me a loan or increase any of my limits. I need to focus on bringing my current debt down....I thought that's what I have been doing already??

I do not want to get a second job AGAIN, though I'm sure the paper route would gladly offer PAPER BOY back his heroic role, but my life is busy and to add another duty may be a little much.

So after having a little pity party, I've decided to follow the footsteps of my Mother when she was struggling with us kids. I'm going to go around my house, gather all the things that I don't need and sell them.

It's about time too! I haven't done a good spring cleaning in a long while. I kept saving things for "when I had a home and a place for it"...Well, I've owned the house over a year and if it doesn't have a spot and hasn't been used, it's time to go.

Here's to the good, that comes from the bad!
