Today I resolve not to masturbate again until I have paid off my credit card debt.
I'm down about $4,500 right now, with $1000 at 12% and $3,500 at 0% for another two and a half months. Of course, the zero apr needs to be paid before I can dig into the 12% money.
This resolution is "crazy" for me because jerkin' is far and away my favorite thing to do on planet earth. It's been a constant comfort to me since I was 12 years old.
It'll be tough because I need to pay off an assload of student loans during the same time, I pay a lot of rent, I only make $10 an hour, and I work as a contractor "as needed."
Luckily, I've been making myself useful at work and I'm a favorite for my skills if not my personality.
I just did some back of the envelope calculations, and if I continue to pull 20 days a month at work, and I don't see any increases in expenses, I have around $980 'to spend' a month. Food needs to come out of that, but I'm confident I can put the bulk towards the card if I need to.
So, best case scenario, if I live like a hermit (no real problem for me, except do hermits jerk off?) I can about have the card paid off by the time the interest kicks in on the rest of the loan. (I have about a grand in savings right now).
But will I be able to do it? I've definitely broken promises to myself before, and masturbation is my firmest habit. heh.
And finally, what is the point of this endeavor? I plan to use this as motivation to expand my skills and branch into some small-time business ventures. To see if I can work towards deriving more pleasure out of activities that improve me, rather than idle pleasures.
I'll post again if I go back on my word!
