So I thought I would post quickly about how my plan from the beginning of 2012 was going.
Well I pulled the old credit report. You know what it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. You have to be able to take a look at it every once in a while. So I went to this website called "CreditKarma" and had my credit report pulled for all three credit reporting agencies. The best part about that was I looked at them all with a fine toothed comb and was able to accept what was on there and make a plan to clean it up.
Oh yes I said it....my credit needs some work and I am willing to make the plans necessary to clean it up.
Credit Karma suggests that you take time to review your report and seek out any discrepancies along with anything that you find may not be yours. They also suggest if you need to rebuild that you do so with paying off some accounts and possibly obtaining a new line of credit on a secured credit card if you need to to increase your credit score.
That was number one on my things to do list for the year. I don't want to get into it too deep but I suggest you check out and see for yourself where you are. You even get a free FICO score and who couldn't use that right now?
I also wanted to make sure that I looked into increasing the amount of sources of income that I have right now. Ok so I went through a list of things I can still do to increase my streams of income and you know what? I can still do them. Methodically an add them to what I am working on right now without it affecting a work day or other things I have going on. More on that later.
Me taking care of myself? Oh please yes the one simple thing that I did was I started eating. How easy was that? I just starting eating a simple five small meals per day. I just started packing a lunch with all of my meals in it and making sure that I ate breakfast before I let the house in the morning. Now how easy is that? I stopped drinking all sodas and eliminated sugar except the occasional soda which I can never seem to finish. I also joined a team in my current city of residence called "Camden's Biggest Loser".
Meeting new friends. Well seems to me that what is happening is I am learning who my real friends are and the fake ones are. I actually thought this would be hard to do but it wasn't. I thought I was going to be upset or hurt at the transition but I believe in my older age I simply want peace and silly things people do don't matter much to me. I just want to be happy with all that I am right now with friends, family, children, work that is cool for now. I'm still alive and the right situation will make itself available eventually.
I am going to this weekend to hang out again in my favorite spot in Hot Springs, Arkansas with a dear friend so I can teach her how to relax and chill out. Right now you guys.....that's the most important thing....CHILLIN OUT...anyone wanna join me?
Ok
Let's stop the world and get off .....just for a moment.
Y've
