Sorry for the blog silence, folks! I'm sick - for the second time in less than three months. Could it be that I'm working too hard? It's definitely a reasonable assumption, given the fact that I'm generally an incredibly healthy person, and I'm now working between 60 - 70 hours per week.

Little did I know when I started this blog in January of 2008 that I would learn so much and come so far in my struggle to overcome my debt and control my spending. Welcome to 2011! Over the past three years I've heard from so many of you who are in the same situation, either just beginning your journey or close to the end.

The good news is that I am on schedule to make more from my assorted part time jobs than I do at the full time job (now do you understand why I've not had the time or energy to update my blog more frequently?)

Long time no blog! Hey there folks! This summer has flown by - I'm still working like a dawg, but I can sense that the end is nigh! I now owe $29,318 on my student loans!! Here's a more organized update (and then I'll explain my dilemma): Here's where things stand now, in early-mid September 2012: Second Mortgage Debt: $31,400::::$25,176.

I got some really good (and thought provoking) comments on that blog post. I was questioning whether, with the sad state of the real estate market, throwing money at my second mortgage was really the intelligent thing to do, since I don't know whether I'll ever get that money back (I'm thinking not).
