No, I haven’t gone bonkers under the weight of my debt. On the advice of the SlackerManager, I’ve decided to celebrate the new year a little early. With today being Labour Day, and the start of the school year upon us, I thought it was a good time to celebrate the last year here at AinD.com. Without further ado, here’s what was going on a year ago:
- I talked about how to get a good balance transfer rate on your credit card in the post Credit Cards & Interest Rates.
- Emergency funds were obviously on my mind already in the post Saving for Emergencies.
- I simplified my life by setting up pre-authorized payments for my bills on Pre-authorized payments.
In honour of the new year, I’m going to start a few things here at AinD.com:
- I’ve already told you about my goal of paying off $5000 by the end of 2007.
- I’m going to keep track of my goals using Joe’s Goals. Look for the chart in the sidebar soon.
- I’m going to get off my duff and start exercising again. Let’s see how long that lasts.
- I’m going to whip up a few weekly features here on the site, so stay tuned for those too!
Okay, that’s enough for the goal setting, I wouldn’t want to fail miserably because my list was 20 items long!
I’ll keep you all updated on how things are going. Wish me luck!




Happy new year! So glad to hear things are getting started in the right direction for you on this “Zinger New Year!”
Best of luck, and stop by again! We’d love to hear from you!
