Helped a friend and spreading the word

March 21st, 2008 at 03:11 pm

Last night I visited with a really good friend who I haven't seen in awhile. He is a young guy, about 30. Because of his college major, he has had a difficult time finding employment that meets his abilities; however, he is employed. He shared with me how overwhelmed he is with his finances and his anxiety over debt.

Well, anyone who reads my blog entries knows, I'm not actually GOOD with my finances. Regardless of this, I sat down with him at the computer, went over all of his expenses for the month, income, etc and helped him come up with a budget and plan for getting out of debt. When I left, he stated how he felt like maybe he could sleep again at night. I was so excited to have helped someone!

Really, I was only able to help because of all the things I've learned from you. I also acquainted him with this web site, so I hope he comes aboard and checks it out. He was rather shocked to see that he can live not only within his means, but under his means. All I have to say is FABULOUS! Now, onto getting my act in gear and together. Phew...

    Congratulations! That must feel AMAZING! Right now I have friends who really need to work out a budget and stick to it, and I'm hoping they let me help them (and are receptive to my point of view).

    How'd you do that picture, BTW? It looks kind of like the Simpsons ones a lot of us have, but more detailed and with different clothes. Neato!

    Wonderful to hear! Looking at what you've listed on the left column, I'll bet you're a lot better at it than you're giving yourself credit for.

    I know I am better at telling others what to do than doing it myself. It's one of my best attributes! Ha Ha.

    P.S. I love Apartment Therapy.

    Ceejay, I went to the Burger King simsonize me web site and just followed it along, etc. You could change the colors, etc., but I can't remember all the details. Try it and see!

    BA-That all looks really neat and organized, but I've got light years before I get it right. Thanks for the boost, though!

    Homebody-Apartment Therapy? Do share!

    Cool, I did it! This one's even more fun than the one on the Simpsons movie Web site. I'm going to use my new Simpsons-me as my blog photo!
