Hi There!
My name is Kim, and somehow I came across your twitter a few months ago. I would say you are one of the few people I follow that are not some sort of celebrity. I originally signed up as a means to kill time and avoid talking to strangers on public transit. I never figured I would come across someone who so closely shared so many of my financial and physical issues.
I am about to turn thirty and have been chipping away at my debt for a few years, but with renewed gusto lately. I am 220ish pounds, and non to pleased about it. As of updates to all my accounts today, I now owe $16,631.00. Almost dollar for dollar where you are. I also recently just left Toronto, ending up in London Ontario. I am also dreaming of this time next year (or two years from now at the very latest) on heading back to school.
Every time I read your blog the parallels shock me, and also somehow give me more hope. Hope that I am not the only person out there plugging away at more that one issue and making changes, even if they are small, that will hopefully stick for life.
I am also considering starting my own blog about the changes Iam making and how they are working or not working.
I just wanted to drop you a line introducing myself, and sincerely thank you for being so candid and honest. I genuinely keeps me motivated.
Have a fantastic day!
Kim

Hey! Been reading your blog, love it. Live in gorgeous Ucluelet, and would love to bring you over for a night or two sometime. Like to fish? Whale watch?
I hauled myself almost 18k out of debt in 3.5 years and it is amazing.
Would love to chat sometime! deborah_bertin AT yahoo DOT ca
Hi Cait-
Over the past few days I read every single one of your blog posts…very enjoyable, and inspiring!
As a result, I decided to try online budgeting using Learnvest (that is what you use, correct?) but can’t link to my Canadian bank accounts. How did you do it?
Many thanks,
Heather

Just watched a Globe & Mail video featuring your efforts to get out of debt. Congratulations on making this decision for yourself. However, the video does leave me with a lingering question. In one passage, it shows you shopping for groceries. You point out a price difference for black beans, between $1.39 and $0.99 — a price difference of $0.40. You chose the lower priced item. However, you seem not to have any concern around the nutritional content of the product you’re shopping for, in this case a canned food (i.e., sodium content?). Do you not compare nutritional content to make sure that you are getting the best food in balance with the money you’re trying to save? Does it make sense to save 40 cents to serve one’s debt reduction agenda without any regard to physical health? To use the example in the video, would it not make sense to spend the 40 cent difference if that product is going to better promote your health?
