Take THAT debt!

So Christmas and New Year's were lots of fun and good times. The best part was having almost a full two weeks off of work. But now I am back on the job for the busiest January our office has ever seen. Crazy.

But anyway, I bought my first brand new car this past June. I am not a huge car person so I did not want to have to do tons of looking through papers and auto traders, although I did do my homework and visited about 8 or 9 different dealers (looking at both new and used). I ended up getting a smokin' deal for not too much effort and was quite content. But I still had my old car to sell. And I was out of town quite a bit and found it super easy to put off. But I am oh so glad I did because it turns out my uncle was interested in buying it. Not only does it stay in the family (it was my late grandfather's), but I pretty much did not have to do ANY work to sell it. I did not get as much as I probably could have, but I also did not have any hassle. So anyway, my uncle did not want to have to withdraw any more RRSP money last year so he asked me to hold on to it until January, which it just so happens to be at the moment, and today we did all the transferring of ownership and plates. Sigh of relief.

Sadly I will do the responsible thing and pay all the money toward my loan for my new car rather than blow the money on fun things at the mall and home decor type stores. But, I do get to kick my debt where it hurts. Excellent.
