I started off 2010 seeing my now ex/no longer in contact with bf David. After having not seen or spoken to him in over a year he got back in contact with me because he gf cheated on him and he needed advice.
I had dreams of a wedding and us being happy together for the rest of our lives but that all came to a crashing end in August when he broke up with me totally out of the blue. Turns out he couldn’t handle me trying to give him advice on how to manage his money/pay off his debt; so he got with some chick he works with and now we no longer talk. I know I’m better off and I’ve moved on.
I also went to night school at a local college for a photography class and even thought I hated it within the first week I did end up finishing it, although I never did find out my final grade.
In April I paid off my Line of Credit and started to work on my OSAP loan.
In June I started to apply for several full time jobs within various school boards and in August I accepted one.
In October I started seeing someone, while looking at the option of purchasing a townhouse. Neither the relationship nor moving out ended up working out; however I was able to learn that being pre-approved for a mortgage and potentially owning a home is way more stressful then I originally thought.
In November I was able to get my OSAP down to under $10,000 and in December I turned 27.
That pretty much sums of my 2010. Here’s a recap of the goals I set for myself.
Financial:
Pay off Line of Credit :: This was completed April 30th 2010
Save $5,000 by August 2010 :: Completed July 7th 2010. I was able to combine the amount in my TFSA with the amount in my GIC for a total amount of $5,034.12 and then I put that amount onto my OSAP debt
Bring OSAP debt to $10,00 by Dec 31st 2010 :: As of today my OSAP debt is $8,781.47.
Personal
Obtain a job within a school board :: August 16th 2010 I was offered and accepted a position.
Watch for my 2011 Goals, which will be posted tomorrow.
