Everything is coming together,,, Thanks to Taxes

So I must say that this debt I have been having for a couple years now is now going away. I just payed off my Mary Kay loan which I have learned a lesson on in the first place. I decided when I started Mary Kay that I wanted to start out with a really big inventory so that it can motivate me to sell sell sell. So therefore I invested in like a 4000 dollar inventory. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!! I wasnt doing good at all, and I wasnt as motivated as I should have been. So I had product just sitting there either collecting dust, or I would get it out and use it. Brad kinda helped me for a little bit on being motivated by saying "We will not hang out today until you book at least 3 classes." So that worked for a while, but people just didnt really wanna buy anything, so there it was again sitting on the shelf. I decided that selling just wasnt for me. So I closed out my contract and got money back to pay it down. But still had a bit to pay off after that. Every month I would make payments on it and the digits just got lower and lower. And then today, WAALAAA!!!!! They disappeared. And let me tell you it feels so good to have it all payed off. A bit of advice to people who are looking into selling makeup or pretty much anything... Do it and love it, and be motivated because you dont want to make the mistakes i did. And also, dont fall into the seller's trap of "If you join today and start an inventory, you get this and this and this free" Bunch of bull. I dont know how people can do it. Now all I have left to pay off is my parents and they helped me so much a couple years back when i decided to get a credit card and went crazy with it. They helped me pay it off, and now I am almost done with that. Now I just hope we can get brads debt gone soon..

Good job Lerrin. I know how good it feels to finally get something taken care of that has been lurking on bills forever. Thank gosh for Tax Refunds! All I have left to pay off is my laptop and car. Which might be a while:/ but those are bills I am okay with having. Credits cards etc are NOT ok bills.
