A life free of debt is my goal for the future...
Hello again my Steemit friends!
Near the end of 2017, I shared with you all that my goal for 2018 is to become debt free. I'm hoping that through some cutbacks on spending, working extra at my day jobs, and by blogging on Steemit, I may achieve this lofty goal.
Thankfully, I'm not saddled with too much debt that it may be possible to pay off with hard work. I've managed to pay off my credit cards, but now I'm left with student loans and a car payment.
My total debt is just under $20k usd. It would be life changing for me to get out from under this burden. I spend over $500 a month on the bills related to my debt. This would be money I'd get to keep out of my paycheck instead. This would give me more opportunities for things like getting my own home, or helping others when I'm able. There are also many business opportunities I could try if I become debt free as well.
I've begun analyzing my spending habits, and I'm working on ways to cut back. Doing things like not going out for coffees and expensive foods is first on my list. I'm planning to start bringing my breakfasts to work evey day, which should help my overall food bill quite a bit. I've also stopped buying things like lottery tickets and other pointless items. Slowly but surely, I'm cutting back on pointless spending. I'm excited to see what other things I can do to help the process.
I'm very grateful to have found the Steemit platform and all of the amazing people in the community. I'm happy this opportunity has come where I can not only share my story, but possibly get rewarded for it as well. I'm happy that you all seem to be enjoying my blog posts!
All of the support you've given me on Steemit is wonderful. I'm very humbled that so many of you are supporting what I'm doing on the platform! The blogs, the radio shows, the live streams, my photography... it's all a blessing that I can share it with you. Reading your comments and interacting with you all on Steemit is awesome!
I'll continue to bring you all updates on my progress becoming debt free. I'd love nothing more than to one day jump on here and do a vlog post showing you that I'm now debt free!
Thank you for continuing to support this blog! I'll bring you more updates very soon. I'm well on my way to achieving my goal!
