    Default yay! update to tired of being poor!

    First off I talked to my credit card company and they are working with me to get my card paid off so I am ending up with a 6% payoff as opposed to the 23% or whatever crazy thing I was paying before.

    Also, I have a second job as a nurse. I only work there like once a month. Well they called today and they want me to work once a week! yay! more hours and I love the job,plus it wont interfear with my regular job! Its a difference of $350 a month! So exciting plus I can start tommorrow!

    That's great news! Congratulations on making such big strides toward your goals. 6% is a huge savings compared to 23%.
