Here...and nowhere...


I'm here. Sorry for the delay. I just haven't felt like writing much because the only 2 people who read my blog are the 2 that live with me and I talk to them every day. Plus, nothing terribly interesting has happened.
BUT, since an entry has been requested, an entry you shall get...

I just want to take a minute to say that who ever you are, and what ever situation you find yourself in please do not get yourself into debt if you can avoid it. Whatever it is you think you want or need (unless its some real emergency i.e. food, shelter, basic needs) you don't need it bad enough to suffer the hell that is caused by being in debt and trying to get out of it. It is one of the worst feelings in the world to think that you are an otherwise smart and capable person who is more or less a financial failure and that you will have to spend a good portion of your young life paying for bad or unavoidable choices you made in the past. Take my advice. Live with your parents as long as you can....eat at home all the time...don't buy crap you don't need....don't go to art school unless you have a full ride....and whatever you do, live simply and smartly. Do with less, and you'll find yourself ahead down the road.

Ok, I'm off my soapbox now.
