goodbye 2009
As I wrote last year, I hoped that I would be able to get out of debt in December 2009. Until then, I had no money available for illness or car troubles. As it turns out, my health did deteriorate, and I did spend about $1500 on car repairs early in the year (which went onto my credit card).
My get-out-of-debt plan eventually worked, but only after I got into a car accident and totaled my Mitsubishi. (It was the other driver's fault.) I replaced my vehicle with a less valuable one, a 1997 Mazda B2300. I used the remainder of the settlement to pay off my remaining debt. I ended 2009 with about $200 to my name and no debt. Yay!
In 2010, I'm hoping to identify the cause of my health issues, and I'm rather hoping to become a programmer again. Both seem within the realm of possibility. I also need to get vehicle repairs done before my truck leaves me stranded somewhere. As for priorities, there's really only one: I hope both T'Reese and I remain alive for another trip around the sun.
Low standards make life easy.
