Debt Free-er

Nick Momrik1 Comment

Each year at the beginning of July, the interest rate can change on my student loans. For the past few years that rate has dropped, but this year it reached a high point by increasing nearly 2%. When I found this out over the weekend I was pissed. I’d show them!

I scheduled a payment for over $5K that should go through today. Buh-bye student loans! My bank account is a lot lighter, but it feels damn good to get closer to being debt free. All I have left now is the auto loan on my Trailblazer. If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s owing money. Thanks to a good year with my web sites and playing online poker, I’ve been able to take some large chunks out of that debt.

Review: Fantastic Four

Fantastic FourThe Fantastic Four was a surprisingly good movie. Or maybe I just enjoyed watching Jessica Alba a little too much. It’s another Marvel movie, but this one isn’t too cheesy.

The acting, action, special effects, and story are all pretty good. There are a couple of sub stories to keep it all enteresting. One part of the movie I do have to complain about is the ending. For those of you that have seen it, I’m talking about the last minute of the film. It’s just typical Hollywood though, leaving their backdoor open.

If you’ve enjoyed some of the other Marvel comics on the big screen, you’ll like this as well. Just don’t go into it with big expectations and you’ll walk out having seen an enjoyable movie. I give it a B+.
