A few months ago, I wrote on how you can be your own credit repair agency. Sometimes that’s just not possible for some people, and they have to turn to others for help. Not all credit repair agencies are bad. In fact, some of them can be a really great asset to your financial future.

Geneva Roth Ventures is a company that helps educate consumers about their finances. Geneva Roth Ventures works closely with the CFEF (Community Financial Education Foundation) and OLA (Online Lenders Alliance) to ensure they are providing the best service to their clients.

The Online Lenders Alliance works hard to make sure that online lending companies are legit. I think this is one of the most critical parts of utilizing online lenders. You need to make sure you are doing business with an ethical company, especially when it comes to repairing your credit and dealing with your finances. If you are looking for a second opinion on your finances, give Geneva Roth Ventures a try!

When I first started this blog, it was a way to share my financial knowledge with anyone who was willing to read. As I’ve been writing, I’ve developed a love for blogging. My first and foremost vision and plan for this blog is to help people manage their money, save more money, and pay off their debts. As I’ve been recently been diagnosed with some health problems, I’ve tried to prioritize things in my life. I truly believe my number one goal in life is to be happy. I’m going to do everything I can in my power to make my life happy and healthy.

I have big dreams and plans for my blog. Of course everyone wants to make money online with their blogs. I do too. But my plans may be a little simpler and realistic than many. I just want to make enough money to be able to pay off debt and save more money. Idealistically, I’d love to be a stay at home mom if I am given the opportunity, and if I can make money from my blog that would be incredibly amazing.  Obviously I don’t think I’ll be able to make a living only from my blog unless I get really lucky, but I’d like to earn enough from it that I can supplement Mr. Money’s income if I am able to stay at home with the kids.

I just wanted to say thank you to all the readers over the past four months. Without you, the blog wouldn’t be headed in the direction that it is. I appreciate all the visitors I get!

What are your goals? Financially, career wise, life wise, blog-wise? I’d love to know.

The last time I updated this, I owed $9950.00 on my student loan balance.  I am happy to say that I’ve paid $450 off and I only owe $9500!!  That feels like such a good number.  I am so proud of myself. 

I’ve been earning a little extra cash still, but not as much as I’d like. I’m hoping that with my recent decision to look for another job, that I may earn more money that I can save and throw towards debt.  I’ve got this loan at 0% interest right now, so honestly the only reason I am trying to pay it off quickly is for peace of mind.  I can’t wait to get it paid off!
