We went to 2 weddings on Saturday. They were weddings for 2 cousins on opposite sides of W’s family, so we couldn’t say no to either. Both were a lot of fun. It has definitely made me excited for my own, as I have slowly been losing excitement for it. Now I’m back in wedding planning mode! We have tons of new ideas for things that we want, and we have decided on a live band for the reception.
On Sunday we had a 40 year anniversary party, that was a lot of fun too. Lots of yummy food all weekend.
I had a guest post on GRS the other day all about what it would take to quit your job and pursue your passion. Hope you all got a chance to read it. Thanks again if you are a new reader.

Student Loan Update
My student loans will be gone this week! WOOHOOO! I’ll be making an update post on this soon. This feeling is awesome and I can’t believe that I am this close. This definitely would not have been possible without my blog since I have learned so much since I started.
Spending
We spent some money, but only on the two weddings that we went to. We gave cash as our gifts. Other than that, it was a pretty cheap weekend.
We were about to buy a brand new TV for our living room because our other TV that we’ve only had for a couple of years broke. There was a long Twitter rant by me, plus I talked to tech support and everyone else at Samsung to try to figure out what was wrong with it. W and I have tried everything the past couple of weeks. Then yesterday, we were sitting in our living room and it just magically turned on ALL BY ITSELF and started to work. Weird, but I’m glad that we don’t have to buy a new TV especially since we just bought this one. WOOHOO! We were literally about to throw it away when it turned on…
Extra Income (does not include income from our main jobs)
It was another awesome week with my extra income. I have been working much harder with following up with late and missed payments. Affiliate income has also been pretty good this month, especially since I haven’t put an affiliate link in a new post in probably over a month. Passive income for the win!
Posts from my blog:
- Life updates and $3,287 in extra income. My usual weekly life update post.
- I’m no longer anonymous. My face is officially on Twitter! And once I get more engagement photos back, I will make an awesome post with them.
Being healthy
I ran a couple of times last week, but not as much as I would have liked. Still a good week though. And I’m still eating healthy. I definitely need to work on my goal of running over 100 miles in a month though.
Have you been doing well with your extra income, spending and being healthy?

Glad you’re excited! I can’t wait!
Completing the student loan is terrific! Looks like you’re hitting on all cylinders. Definitely inspirational.

Wows a! You killed it with the extra income!
That site is going to be awesome for your wedding. So pretty!
Thanks!
Paying off student loans, guest posting on Get Rich Slowly and making over $3k in ‘extra’ income?? That’s an amazing life for some people, not less a week! Good for you…
I’m new to your site, but have really enjoyed what I’ve read so far. I am particularly looking forward to delving into how you’re making such an incredible amount of side money. Thanks for being so transparent to your readers, it’s really impressive.
Haha yes it has been an awesome week.
Thanks Brad, I hope you become a long-time reader 🙂
I am a new reader as well and am very much enjoying your blog. I would love to know a bit how you make the extra money each week. I did see your “Extra Money” category which is awesome (thank you!) but would love to see how you do it each week.
Did you mean that you want me to start breaking out the actual amounts each week? Just want to make sure 🙂
How you find time to write and do all those social activities is beyond me. I’m a little behind on posting schedule, I have been a bit preoccupied 🙂 Awesome job on side income! You go girl!
I need to start scheduling posts in advance. I’m bad with that and haven’t done that in forever!
That is going to feel SO good when the student loan is gone. What a release of burden that will be. I know how you feel on the running goal. I’m about to pass 100 miles of running for June this week and it’s been tough. Hang in there!
Good job on running so much 🙂
That property looks gorgeous! Such a nice setting for a peaceful wedding. So glad you’re finally killing the student loans! Thanks for offering your story along the way, it’s been motivating. Can’t wait for more engagement photos!
Thanks!
Congratulation on paying off your loan and on your wedding. I honestly don’t know which is better, the wedding or the debt. You must be totally beat, hope you get well rested for your honeymoon.
Thanks! The wedding isn’t until next June though 🙂
