so i was given an opportunity to zero-out my debt in one swoop. it was very tempting, but one thing i had learned from my last investment failure was that greed & quick cash is not worth the risk or reward. so, i turned it down. it wasn't an ethically straight proposition. it would dirty my soul just a little more. by turning it down, i bought part of my soul back. i bought back a little bit of my self respect and self dignity by not weakening at the idea of getting out of debt instantly. fuck it, i will work 3-4 years and pay it off the straight way. i will live with myself better.
today i broke my survey record of 27. my new record is 52. i probably asked 80 people and 52 of them submitted to my request. i think our target's record is 55 held by my manager. i'm glad i didn't beat it. she is the one that taught me how to do surveys so i am happy to be her underling score wise.
oh yea, i figured out ways to somewhat get what i want when i need it. the key is never to buy full price. you look for items on clearance or on sale PLUS having a coupon attached on the item. i bought deodorant for 89 cents today. degree, name brand. also at ralphs i figured out how to buy ice cream for 8 cents each. i bought a box of 12 for 1.00. 1.00 divided by 12 is 8 cents. i am taking frugality to the next level. if i ever bring some ice cream to UFC night, it will be safe to guess i bought the whole box for $1.00.
