I've never been great at math...I mean, I'm not terrible but sometimes I make mistakes. I'm not super confident in my answers and always have to double check.
Having said that, I made an addition error this year while I was trying to calculate how much to pay each month against the debt that I owe! Long-time readers will know that I've been struggling all year (and for YEARS before that!) to pay off my debt by December 15th, 2012.
Well, I failed at that. Due to my erroneous math, I actually JUST PAID OFF MY DEBT A MONTH EARLY!!!!
Wha?!?!
Yeah, that's right...math error IN MY FAVOUR!!!
I'm debt free!!!
I can't actually believe that.
I got my first credit card in 1996. I was 19 years old, and it was a Zellers Club "Z" CIBC card.
By 1997 I owed more money than I had.
15 long years.
I've got this spot in between my shoulder blades, around where my neck starts, that's constantly in pain. It's like there's always a large, blunt object trying to dig into the bone there. A railroad spike, perhaps.
Then I found out about this today! I have to say...spot hurts a little less!
15 years...seriously. Today I finished paying for pizza and beer from 2002. I finished paying for that Playstation game I bought in 2004. The transmission I rebuilt in the car I sold a year later in 1999. Countless gifts for girls I haven't even spoken to in years.
15 long years I've been paying for the decisions...the mistakes...I made in my early 20's.
Now I'm done! It's over!
This is going to take a while to sink in....
