Debt Free Journey Update

Hey everyone! I have some exciting news; I paid off one of my Mastercards. Woo hoo! It was my smallest debt, but it still feels great. Next, will be my “don’t pay for a year” bed loan. I will have it paid off before that year is up so I am not having to sell a kidney just to pay the high interest rates they’ll surely gouge me with. That would obviously not be good for the whole becoming debt free thing either.

I also bought two more books I wanted to read on personal finance. I’m not sure if I mentioned in a previous post or not, but I finished reading one that I bought before too. I wanted to read a few just to get different views and ideas on what others have done to become debt free. I will be starting to read one of them tonight.
Side Note: I bought all three books with an old gift card I hadn’t fully used yet, so no moula out of my pocket.

Another thing I’m now learning about is investing. I have a TFSA and an RRSP, but I want to look more into investing in stocks on my own. I am going to learn everything I can on investing and once I am confident and comfortable with it, I will invest. It will take awhile, but it is definitely on my debt free journey “To Do” list.

So, due to my youngest daughter’s recent birthday and Halloween (costumes for both kids), I got a tad low on funds until my next payday so I used some of my grocery store points ($50.00 worth) to help pay for my groceries, so I’ll be working hard on building those points back up. I like to use them for times like these. Saves me some money. Every little bit counts!

So, that’s about it for my little debt free journey update. I will keep adding updates and posts on any information that could be helpful for you all out there too. Thanks for reading!
