104.29

Reaching the recent milestone of becoming credit card debt free, and before tackling the next hurdle of debt, my loans. I said before I'd reward myself every step of the way for a job well done.

Admittedly, I went a bit overboard. What can I say, columbia house had a GREAT sale...no tax, free shipping and all DVDs were 60% off...the movie buff in me couldn't resist. So what these original 5 would've cost me via amazon.com...I got more...waayyyyy more *smirks*

B/c it's so inspiring to see someone live their dream.

B/c Christian Bale is HAWT, the music rocks and Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine tickle me. Oh and Liam Neeson makes bad look good...RAWR

Though I'm a girl and str8, this movie touched me. Gut wrenching.

I can watch Clive Owen sit in an empty room reading the yellow pages. GAWD who knew he could make being a masked man so sexy. Plus every time I saw the trailer, seeing Spike, Denzel, Clive & Jodie's names always made me cheese up.

I can't even tell you how much I love this move. V!

It's Brick. This is one of the first movies I guffawed, LOUDLY, @ in the theater. And went back to see it again. Just for Brick ;)

Totally underated movie. Atypical plot and ending, plus it made me totally <3 Carly Simon songs.

I still rememver the day I saw this flick. Who knew Sissy had it in her and what an amazing life story.

Just like nothing w/chocolate can be bad, nothing w/Kevin Bacon, Hollowman excluded (bleargh) can be bad. Awesome awesome flick. Tim Robbins haunted me for days and Sean Penn..whatta man.

Didn't think Em had it in him, but he impressed me both in the movie and to this day Lose Yourself is my fave song to get hyper too.

B/c I really am a conspiracy theorist and Mel was just so tragically pathetic.

Hands down Charlize owned this roll.

My fave movie of all time w/the BEST wedding dance scene evah!!! Made me sit up and take notice of Terrence Howard who pretty much stole the movie from both Taye Diggs and Morris Chestnut.

This really turned me on to intricate movies and it took me a long time to realize that was Paul Newman. I mean I knew it was him, but I didn't.

@ an average cost of 7.45 per DVD...I'll be in the house for a long time...lol. What makes it extra sweet is it isn't "costing" me anything. Well sorta, but the $104.29 is coming out of the new minimum car payment, $669 ($170 [old credit card payments] + $236 [my10% debt snowball] + $263 [my real car payment]). Which means this month I'll pay $565 instead.

Now in the long run, as I learned in that class last fall, when you delay payments, interest & time work against you, but every so often, you have to have a bit of fun. This fun is managed. I'm not still 5k in credit card debt buying more stuff.

Besides, the next reward isn't coming till I pay off both the car and W&F loan. Wait. Maybe I'll just use it after the car is paid off since I'm going after the interest charging debt first and to say car AND Direct Loans is too overwhelming right now.

That reward is:

Sex and the City - The Complete Series (Collector's Giftset).

Carrie Bradshaw here I come :D
