Good idea or completely crazy?

>> Saturday, March 28, 2009

Well, we'll soon find out.

I posted an ad on Craigslist tonight to offer my services as a dog rollerblader!!

You gotta laugh at that right?

See, I take my dog rollerblading all of the time, probably 5 nights a week. She loves it and it's a good workout for both of us. She usually comes home and just crashes after one of our excursions.

I figured, the weather is gorgeous in Arizona... I love doing this, my dog loves it, maybe other people would like it too. And maybe I could earn some extra cash at the same time.

It's one of those things that runners should consider- I mean, you go and run a few miles every day... what if you had a furry friend with you that just so happened to belong to someone else?? And they paid you for it? You'd be getting paid to run! It can't get much better than that right?

It's just an idea. I posted the ad and who knows, maybe I won't have anyone interested, but it doesn't hurt to post it right?

I updated the debt payoff goal on the right AGAIN! I sent in a payment for $2,500 to my student loans that increased my total payoff to 61%! One of my student loans now has a balance less than $2,000 so it should be paid off in April! That means I'll have two student loans left, but they both have a balance over $10,000 so it will be take a little while to beat away at them.

Keep ya posted!

Interesting. I'm curious to hear how this goes. It's Craigslist, so I imagine at least one freak, I mean, person will emerge from the woodwork.

I think if I took Scooter rollerblading, I'd end up in the emergency room.

I think that is a great idea - a scary one but a great one!

that sounds like a great idea! you could try posting a flier at the pet store etc. or even your neighborhood!

i LOVE the way you think!

Awesome! I thought of doing that for dog-running around here. Good luck!

I totally would pay you to take my mutts. I take em' bike riding sometimes :)

Awesome job on the payoff - you've totally inspired travis and I to set some lofty goals and ditch our debt. Big goal is: 100% (including house) debt free in 5 years. I think we can do it.
