thank you sweet baby jesus. i am out of debt!! i said i would be out of debt at 30, and i'm a couple months late, but i did it and oh, i feel free. well, rach and i have three houses that technically the bank owns, so i'm not out of THAT kind of debt. but everything else - gone. what will it be like to have savings? i don't know, but i bet FANTASTIC. From now on - strict policy of buying only what i can pay in cash. having to sell everything rach and i owned - things we spent a shit ton of $$ on - for nothing - really opened my eyes to how stupid commercial shit is.
That is, of course, not to say that we didn't have a fabu time of buying new things to decorate our new house with. but we saved up (from the enormous amount of shit we sold on craigslist), and we paid cash, and it looks amazing, like a real adult house. that feels good.
it's funny, i feel older, more responsible in general now, and i don't know if it's 30, being with the most amazing woman as my partner, buying a house, or what. i feel very, very settled, but not in the bad way, just in the being completely who i am way and happy about it (also opposite from the crazy, unsettled feelings of my early/mid 20s)....also feel incredibly grateful. it's possible that it's some hallucination. however, if it is, i don't want it to stop cause it feels f*cking great.
note to self: do not f*ck up again! do not, i repeat, do not go into credit card debt ever, ever again. the shit you buy isn't worth it. remember what this feels like and don't be a dumbass. for serious.
