Found out today that last year's funding for my project runs out next week and the decision on next year's funding won't happen until start of June. Which means my contract officially ends next week and I'll be on a rolling 'month by month' contract until June. Then I'll either be rehired or unemployed - depending on whether we get all the money we need.
I found it difficult to stifle a yawn on learning this news. I'll be okay - no matter what happens. I wouldn't have been so sanguine a few months ago, but I'm creeping up slowly on being debt free. I took out a big bank loan a few years ago which I'll be making a final payment on TOMORROW. Woohoo! It's an amazing feeling. Once this is paid off I only have one BIG debt left - my car. And I've paid enough of that off that if it came to the worst I could sell it and clear the rest.
I've worked out that by November 2014 I should be basically debt free - or not a kick in the arse off it. That gives me so many options. So much FREEDOM. If I want to - I can sack my job and move in with my parents and do SFA. Obviously I'm not going to do that - that'd be mental - but I could if I wanted. No outgoings except rent and bills. Disposable income! Like - enough disposable income to go places and DO things! Enough disposable income to save for a few months and then take off for a year.
I'd go to Indonesia. In case you were wondering. I'd be a complete cliche. 2015 is going to be awesome.
