My million dollar journal begins-Part 1: become debt free

in #introduceyourself • 6 years ago

406947092.jpgHello, this is Xiaoshi. I start this blog on today because today is 08-18-2018. 8 means fortune in Chinese.

In my opinion, one million dollars means one can retire with a comfortable life. So, this is my first goal and the name of my blog. I don't know how long I can keep my journal on. Hopefully it will last.

It is more like a "how-to-become-debt- free-journal" in the beginning.

On April 13, 2018, I owe $37224.18, all credit card debts. Right now I owe $25,731. Paid more than $12,000. As a Chinese girl, it is not supposed to happen to me. LOL. Think about it: Chinese, girl. Both are the ingredients of natural savers. Oh, well, here I am. When I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired, I sat down and did calculation of total debt I have. And the numbers scared me.

I worked my butt off for the past 4 months. I will talk about how I increased my income for the past few months. I almost doubled my income. And I will also write down the current projects I have/going to have to generate income/assets.

All in all, please don't get into bad debts！I can't regret it more. I blame myself everyday into this mess.

If you know any more income generating ideas, let me know. Haha.

I have some crypto investment last year. All dropped into a pricing that I can't even look. Only HODL.

I am determined to pay them back before June 2019. Oh yeah.

    Hello xiaoshi! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

    1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
    2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
    3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
    4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
    5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
