When I was a heavy-duty worker, working and slaving away for seven years straight (seven and a half to be exact), I made a lot of money. Sure, I was killing myself, destroying my mind and body to do things I loathed with soul and body, but I made a lot of money.
I put a huge load of effort into saving away for a near-future, one where I could be carefree and calm and relaxed, never having to be bothered with such intense drudgery again. Oh, I intended to keep working, but only as a hobby and not a priority.
I have an RRSP account. I've been saving away money for quitye some time now. It generates money slowly at first, but the earnings add to the total, creating a 'snowball effect', so that one day, all of my saved earnings and all the saved interest with compound and grow and compound again into a huge profit gain.
I pay $120.oo a month into my RRSP. That never seemed like a huge amount when I was working, no. That $120.oo was NOTHING compared to what I earned.
My earnings were so great, that I randomly quit my job and lived off no income for over two months, rent completely overpaid, and I had money to spend after.
Now, since I'm well between jobs now, my money has started to dwindle. I'm not known to save money; I only have money saved because I have few expenditures and no habits.
Since my coffers are almost bare, that $120.oo deduction from my account every month has grown into a huge amount for me. This has been gnawing at me since right before I left for my B.C. vacation.
Today, I solved the problem (hence the blogs title).
RRSP's can be temporarily halted. I told my bank my situation, and that I'm in between jobs right now. There was no arguing, reprimands, extra costs, taxing, punishment, or anything negative at all. No! My bank knows very well how dedicated I am to them, and they'll easily and happily rehook my RRSP to active status as soon as I have a steady income again. Phew!
Also, tomorrow my buddy is coming to take my old blue Oldesmobile Calais away. About time...
Also also... Today I went to a movie theatre (you lie!) with my momma. We saw Pirates of the Carribean 3 today. Super freaky cool movie!
Anyways, I gotta run. Jamie got home, and I was SUPPOSED to take her to McDonalds at 9pm. The movie ended at 10:45, so umm, yeah...
Later peeps! O_x
