working out of debt

twenty-eight years and a million words

I've rounded the corner on my debt. 80% of my life savings have evaporated in the last three years, but there's not much I can do about it. In fact, I'm surprisingly blasé about it (that'll teach me to save!).

Anyway, I've arranged things so that my existing load is cheap enough that I'll be saving some $300 a month in payments. I should be debt free at around March of 2005.

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
