Still Pushing On

It's been a while since I last updated my blog. I've been super busy with my job lately and in the process of moving to another state so I haven't had a lot of time to do an update. I'm still doing my sites when I get the chance and I am at or near payout with some of them. Last night I just cashed out of Fusion Cash for $47.20. It took me literally months to reach because I didn't do the site for a while until recently. Some of my earnings expired from several months ago because it was so long since I did it so I was determined to work on getting payout.

I haven't been doing ChaCha a lot lately since it slowed down but I think I will slowly get back into it by doing an hour a day. A couple of days ago they changed the pay system again so I don't know if it will be good or bad until I get on more and do it. My current earnings are $$61.20 and I need $100 to reach pay out. That has taken months to reach as well.


I have come up with a new strategy for my getting out of debt plan, which I should have been doing all along. In addition to my automatic monthly payments, as soon as I get any money from my sites I'm just going to throw it right away on my cards. I think this will help me get in the habit of just throwing everything extra on it that I can.

I recently made the decision to only pay in cash for anything I buy from now on, well I will try to anyway. I might slip every now and then. My biggest problem will be only buying what I can afford with the money I have in my pocket. I'm so used to just charging something if I wanted it even if I didn't have the money in my pocket and worrying about paying later.

I will still need to use my card because I have a lot of expenses from my job that I can deduct so I can keep track of it better instead of saving all the receipts. One of my coworkers gave me that idea. She said she just uses one card to charge her work expenses on so it's easier to keep track of.

I'm only a couple hundred dollars (less than three hundred) away from paying off one of my cards. That one has the highest interest rate. I should call them and see if they will lower my rate and use that card to track my work expenses. I just need to make sure I pay it off at the end of each month. I'm still pushing on slowly but surely.
