December Snowflakes +1 :)

December 4th, 2013 at 04:51 am

The past few days I cashed in for $25 of AGCs from Swagbucks. After the monthly bonuses, I should have enough for January's $25, and then I'll start working on earning a $15 card.

I also cashed out for a $5 AGC from Bing Rewards today. I set my next goal to be a 500 SB gift card. By the time I have enough for that, I'll have Gold status. So instead of it being worth $5, it'll be worth $5.25 (cashing in for a $5 AGC from Sbs, leaving 50 SBs.)

I also finally achieved the 25,000 point level on Acheivemint . com. Of course, when I went to cash out they offered me a deal that I didn't resist. If I upped my reward goal to 50,000 points, they'd give me a free 5,000 points. Considering that it's taken me a year to get to 25,000 points ... 5,000 free points is a big deal. Smile I'm hoping to get the needed 20k points by July (increased means of earning points and being more consistent *should* make this happen.)

Ok the other thing. Smile I just had to brag on my bf a little bit. He called me tonight totally out of the blue and sang a Stevie Wonder song to me. Big Grin That sure put a smile (read big grin) on my face. Big Grin

It's hard to believe that just about seven months ago I was stressing out over whether or not to call him and ask him whether or not he wanted to give it a second go or not. How life changes. Smile

    Hi: How much remains on your car loan? Where are you on your 2013 goals? Do you still plan to seek employment near NE in 2014? What is the economy like in that state? When are you required to give notice to your current school district?

    Not being noisy, just working on possible/probable 2014 goals.

    Smile Thanks Mamasita and CCF


    Snafu - no problem. Smile After my December payment on my car, I'll have a bit less than $1k left on my car loan. Whatever the balance is in March, I'll just pay in full to be done with it. Smile
    As for my other goals ... well, I didn't really put much more to my EF, only put $2400 to my ROTH, and nothing to the FIRE fund. I decided mid-way that visiting with NE would take priority over my financial goals - for this year at least.

    I am still planning on looking for a job near NE, starting in January (which is when we make our official notice of future plans to the school.) I doubt I'll be able to get a school librarian job right away, so am planning on making a wide scope. I'll be visiting NE during April, so hope to have several interviews set for that time. If not, I do have a paycheck through the end of July, so that gives me a little bit of flex time.

    So happy for you and NE! Smile
