Somebody Is Doing Something Right
Posted by Jack under goals
Patrick, over at Cash Money Life relates to us his financial life story in brief.
Unlike many of us (myself included), he appears to have done the right thing from the very beginning. That, with no life-busting emergencies has him sailing smoothly. The best part? He has the freedom to be doing the work he wants to do rather than finding the job that pays him the most possible.
All I can say is Congratulations. Great job, keep it up.
Here’s hoping my efforts to join him in financial serenity works out in real life like it does on paper.
Consumerism Commentary did Patrick one better however. Sasha just reached a major milestone by making the last payment on $52,050 of student loans. That is huge and a wonderful goal to reach. The writing is pretty entertaining too.

Hi there! I’m glad you liked the piece–I was so excited I wanted to shout from the rooftops, and I’m glad to be able to share the news. Plus, I aim to entertain. =) Thanks for the link!
Patrick’s story is a great one too. Glad you pointed me to it.

Thanks for the mention, Jack. Be sure to tune in next week when I write about how I paid off $52,051.74 in student loans in just 2 years!
Joking aside, Sasha also wrote a great article about a very nice achievement. The main point both of us made in our articles is that with a solid plan and a little luck, we were able to accomplish the financial goals we set out to do.
Just stick to your plan, Jack, and you’ll do well. Neither my achievements nor Sasha’s occurred overnight.

Two very good success stories. I particularly liked Patrick’s story because his philosophy “spend less than what you earn” is what I always try to adhere to.
