Who is Miss Moneyholic?


I am a 22 year old recent graduate, with a boat load of debt! Thankfully, I have mostly learned from other peoples mistakes, and primarily only have a student loan. All credit card debt could be paid off the month of if need be. Now that being said.. I am about to quit my 2 jobs, pick up and move home!

I was living in Toronto with my boyfriend, worked a office day job to get my career started, and served at night, to help pay down the debt. I have a car, and worked mostly every day, same goes for the boyfriend. He had his full time, and part job he worked to pay down his debt. Therefore, with both of us working days and nights, and going weeks without seeing each other. eventually, I couldn't take it, I was very lonely, and started to miss my family A LOT! So I decided to break up with my boyfriend, quit both my full time, and part time jobs and move back in with the Daddyo!

So that brings us to today, I am in limbo. I have yet to give in my resignation to either jobs, as I am trying to wait out until Christmas. Although I did tell my supervisor, just because he has been so good to me, and I felt out of respect he should know. I am currently staying with a friend out of the city, making my commute about an hour each way every day. I am going to be staying with her until shortly before Christmas, where I will then be moving back into my Dad's apartment, where I lived before I moved away to college.

My plan is to find a full time day job, with the help of my sisters, and a part time serving job. The same set up I had in Toronto. The bonus of living with my Dad, is while I am there, I am hopefully going to be living rent free, meaning all that money can be put towards my debt. If all works out as planned, I will be debt free by next Christmas! Now I am not saying this will be easy, but with a lot of hard work, and the benefit of serving in a high tourist area during the summer,  I will make this happen!

So for now, I am doing my best to stay afloat during this holiday season, and just make it to 2013!
