The art of being Brilliant

So I was stumbling along and came across Red Square (http://noc.co.il/red.html) where the idea of the game is to keep the red block off the wall, and keep the blue shapes from hitting it. I got 18.89 seconds. I guess thats good. Brilliant even.

Professional Phone Greeting

At work, I was moved to a different location in the building. With the move, someone accidentally deleted my voice message recordings. With that said, I had to redo mine and with this opportunity I went ahead and polished up my message. This is what it is now:

Thank you for calling the Southwest Riverside County Association of REALTORS®. You have reached the desk of Daniel Brincat. I’m sorry I was not able to take your call. If you will, please leave your name, phone number, and a brief message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Or you may email me at Daniel Thats D – A – N – I – E – L @ S – R – C – A – R – . – O – R – G. Thank you and have a great day.

So yeah, there you have it. I’m interested to see what other think of this.

My Credit / Debt Ratio…

My goal this year is to completely eliminate all of my debt.  In the past, I’ve been pretty careless with my credit cards, not really thinking long term. If I wanted it, I got it. I did this on several items that I could have saved for, but was so emotionally wrapped up in getting that I just charged it. The beginning of this year was the end of that. I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck, I’m doing something about it. So as of writing this I have reduced my debt by 25% from January 1. It may not seem like much, but this is just he start of the snowball. The more my partner Ricky and I gain understanding of it all, the more we can bite off.

This is where I currently stand:

Credit/Debts:

1100/0
3000/1956.43
2000/672.53
1400/822.20
____________
7500/3451.16

or about 46% Credit to Debt ratio… Thats a lot better then where I was at the beginning of the year. I just have to keep pushing forward, and keep reading Get Rich Slowly, No Credit Needed and other personal finance blogs.
