Another Year Older and Deeper in Debt
Last Thursday was my birthday. A group of about 15 friends, including Ben, Adi, Steve, and Summer, joined me at the Karaoke Café in Murray to celebrate by singing karaoke and eating cheesecake---two of my favorite pastimes.
Getting older is acceptable as long as I can do those two things in the company of good people.

Free at Last!
I have some great news!
No, I did not just save a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO, though some of you probably were thinking that. With the paycheck I received today, I was able to pay off the last of my existing debts, and I am now 100 percent debt free.
The reasons why I was in debt are not important - they aren't uncommon reasons, really. Suffice me to say that they are now a thing of the past!
These words from Pres. J. Reuben Clark Jr. often caused me to lose sleep at night:
"Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies; it never goes to the hospital; it works on Sundays and holidays; it never takes a vacation. . . . Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands, or orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands, it crushes you."
No more! It's a great feeling.
