Yay I’ll be Getting a Bonus

November 11th, 2025 at 06:36 am

First I want to share that I just paid $200 on the student loan.

Drumroll please, I'm so excited, I'll be getting a bonus on Friday. I'm so tempted to schedule my bonus payment for the student loan, but I'll hang tight. I'll be able to pay an additional $1200 on the student loan which will get me just under the $14k.  I think by the end of the year I'll be done. 

Side note. My part time job allows me to sock away a $1000 a check. I'm trying to beef up my savings.  I wish I could drop this on the student loan but the way things are I need to boost my savings. My first job has had multiple layoffs since I've been.  

Our HOA is going up to $440, smh. I had saved with the anticipation to pay it for the year, adding a little. Though I have a nice chunk save which will allow me to pay about 10-months at once, I'm still a little bump. 

that's it for me. See ya later 

Thanks to every one

I'd like to thank every one who reads my blogs and offer great advice. I really appreciate it. In addition, I would like to thank every one who voted for me in last month's contest.

For me depression is a serious issue, I am easily depress, but I have notice a great change over the last year (for the better). Being able to discuss my life openly here is one of the best things that could have ever happened

Thanks again
