I couldn't let another day go by without emitting a cyber scream, " I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
What does this mean? What will happen next? I DON'T KNOW! But I'll keep you posted…
Last night I had dinner with my whole family and we raised a glass to my new status. I got quite emotional even though I didn't think I would. I'm still a bit scared but I'm hoping that as time goes by this whole saga will become just another historical event, like breaking up or being made redundant. It has changed me forever but I think I like myself better for it.
Quick update on some of my goals so far:
Masters nearly finished but I've extended for one more semester to allow for crazy workload (see below)
Savings for my country house now at $7967.86
Five day fortieth birthday festival with extended family at beautiful country estate booked and paid for - bring it on!!!
So why am I here typing at 1.30am instead of sleeping the sleep of the discharged? Because I have been crazy working my until-now bankrupt arse off getting ready for an external audit by a certification body that will escalate my Dad's business into infinity and beyond! Well, hopefully more like light the ignition for a long slow burn to success. I could be delusional but I'm convinced that the last three years have forced me to focus and use everything I've learned to help my Dad build a business model that will be really successful. My dream of being Telstra Australian Businesswoman of the Year is still alive and well and I won't let anyone tell me otherwise. I mean, why not? I checked the eligibility criteria and they don't say anything about discharged bankrupts being ineligible.
I'm going to do it. And when I do, I'm going to tell everyone that I was bankrupt once and I survived and prospered.
As I said, I'll keep you posted...
