    Default Wow!!! I Guess I Was In Debt!

    You know, I never really thought of myself in debt. I had some bills, but they weren't really that important. But I was just thinking of what I have accomplished in the past month, financially.

    ~ $368.00 = Final payment to my lawyer for my divorce
    ~ $255.00 = Paid off a budget plan bill that I owed the electric company for my old apartment
    ~ $635.00 = Rent for Feb. ( and I split)
    ~ $92.50 = Phone/internet company robbing me of my money to pay for "services". At any rate, I'm paid up until the end of April (again, and I split)

    Yet to pay, other than rent and utilities for the rest of the year, is my apartment insurance, due Feb. 25th ($163.20, which and I will split) and my car insurance, coming in April -- haven't figured out how much that'll be yet, but my rates should go down this year, I'm told. So I'm trying to set aside $300 each month for that.

    But I'm very proud of myself! I accomplished a lot this month, despite getting screwed over by my phone/internet company, and I got quite a lot off my plate. It's good to not have all those big scary bills hanging over my head.
