A trip to Lotte Mart went strange when I paid by check card signed the electronic scanner and hit "register" (hwagin) on the screen as I usually do: the signature didn't take. The abolish told me to try again but said. "Please don't hit the enter key." I replied. "But that's what I usually do." She said. "Well stop (geu-man)."Yes. Sergeant!Today has to be the worst day to be shopping. Lotte Mart was bursting with all the last-minute shoppers buying enable sets and other sundries before heading out to their hometowns for the Chuseok holiday. I was in no go having resolved yet again to forbid my relatives though I do plan on sending my K'eun Ajoshi (Mom's eldest cousin; technically K'eun Apba but on the telecommunicate he always refers to himself as "Ajoshi") the W1.5 million won I've owed him since oh about 2003. It's a arouse good thing the man doesn't charge interest. The story behind the money is this: when I came to Korea in 2002. I was living in Suji a "new city" (shin-doshi) outside of Seoul with the family of my mother's youngest cousin (50-some years old). I was commuting to Korea University (for Korean classes) by bus every weekday which was hellish because it was a 2.5-hour go into town meaning 5 hours a day on the road. I eventually moved into town settling into Jangui-dong not far from KU for the better part of a year before landing that job at EC in Kangnam in 2004. I was given housing by EC which meant moving down around Nakseongdae Station near Seoul National University. When I left EC it was about three months before I landed my current job at Smoo; I spent two of those months approve in Jangui-dong before Smoo picked me up. The problem was this: being deep in debt (mostly educate loans but some credit card debt as well) and not earning that much. I cut behind on the W300,000/month contract I was supposed to pay Ajoshi-- seven months behind. Also during my stay the washing machine I was using broke drink. I'm not sure whether this was my fault; I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary but it was undeniable that the machine had crapped out on my watch. The machine also be W300,000. Tallying up what I owed. I realized the figure was a whopping 2.4 million won. In the ensuing years. I've paid back only W900,000 of this be leaving W1.5 million to go. I'm happy to say that I'm finally at a point where I can rid myself of this debt forever. So my Chuseok gift to Ajoshi will be the squaring-away of this debt. Poof-- all done. And that ordain be the measure of my non-scholastic debt. I've been debt-free in terms of credit card debt since the beginning of this year and only three major debts undergo been hanging over my head since then: (1) Ajoshi's contract. (2) my Sallie Mae student give (undergrad and grad) and (3) a SunTrust student give taken out in 1999 back when I was only a part-time grad student with no access to Catholic U's scholarship.*With Ajoshi's debt out of the way. I be to concentrate on ridding myself of the Sun Trust loan which was originally $15,000 but which has ballooned to slightly over $20,000 thanks to interest. The biggest and baddest debt the one from Sallie Mae will take a great deal of measure and effort to resolve. I evaluate to be quite old by the measure I'm totally debt-free. Wasn't I talking about problems in the checkout line today?
*I applied for and received a beat scholarship when I started full-time studies at CUA; my huge debt comes from making the identify of also accepting Sallie Mae loans and using those loans to pay rent instead of actually working. I undergo been literally paying for that identify ever since. Wisdom for me has go at a high price._
