Hello from Barcelona, Spain! I’m currently visiting Spain for the first time and I love it so far. There is so much to do and so little time to do it. Oh well. Even though I am on vacation, I still have to write about my ability to payoff my debt. I missed producing a… Read More »
It’s another month and so it’s time for me to write my debt pay-off report. When I posted my last report, I posted it in June (the same month as the payoff report). I think that doesn’t make sense, and so much like my other reports, I’ve decided to post on the previous month. So,… Read More »
Welcome to another debt payoff report. The goal is to make progress on my debt reduction plan at least twice per month, even though I may post once a month. To quote Dave Ramsey, “You can wander into debt, but you can’t wander out.” Even though I won’t be as gazelle intense as Dave preaches,… Read More »
May was a very expensive month. Some of those expenses I documented in my vacation rental reports and my dividend income report. But others I didn’t. Quite frankly, I wasted A LOT of money in May playing bingo. It’s almost too embarrassing to disclose. The good news is that I spent all cash playing bingo.… Read More »
Welcome to my first debt payoff report. If you’re paying attention, you’ll notice that I already produce dividend income reports, vacation rental reports and now I’ve added a debt payoff report.

Well, I finally got my head out of the sand. It’s official! I am into credit card debt. Some of this debt was necessary spending, but a lot of it was not. I could keep my head in the sand and continue spending without thinking or a plan. Or, I could get my head out… Read More »
Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news to report. The monthly contribution to my dividend portfolio has increased. There is still a lot going on this year, and so far the year has been extraordinarily expensive. Inflation is high and my main source of revenue is down. Specifically, bookings from my vacation rental properties are… Read More »
Consumer debt sucks. Interest rates are typically high and, if debt isn’t managed carefully, it has the tendency of increasing a person’s stress level. We are also experiencing tough economic times. Inflation is high, and there will likely be a recession soon. So, now is the time to get one’s financial house in order. There… Read More »
It’s very hard to keep emotions out of investing. No matter how much I tell myself that I am investing for the long term, and down markets are good, I am still human. I still wonder whether holding an investing that keeps going down is the quintessential equivalent of me trying to catch a falling… Read More »
I don’t know about you but I hate credit card debt. It’s the worst. The interest rate they charge is outrageous. It’s practically high way robbery. That’s why I wrote about the fact that debt is a thief. And credit card debt is one of the biggest thieves out there. But, let me get off… Read More »
