Thank You So Much!

June 10, 2020 · 16 Comments

Hi everyone…
I know it’s been a while. How have you been? I hope you’ve been keeping safe and sane. It’s been an interesting few months hasn’t it? Lol.

Okay so, this is my last post on The Wawa New Yorker…

After 5 years, it’s finally time for a transition. I have started a new project, which I am about to tell you about. But I didn’t want to pack up shop here, without leaving you all, with one last post:
Have you ever wondered “how did I get here?” And not in a good way. This was me, December 2019, sitting in a little conference room, at work, completely spaced out.
I finally dared to open my bank statements, I’d been avoiding them for weeks and the numbers I saw took me out. Again, not in a good way. I had incurred more debt than ever before. I sat down for a while, feeling sorry for myself, making all kinds of excuses. Then I got angry. I knew I never wanted to feel like this again. I pulled out my notepad and decided to project manage the hell outta my finances.
I pulled out a notepad and started mapping out a plan for financial freedom. I would start with my credit cards and then, my student loans. I am elated to report that I have paid off all of my credit cards and am on schedule to pay off my student loans🤸🏾‍♀️. And the best part is, I have a podcast called “On the Matterr” detailing the entire process.
Everything from how much I owed and the plan I had, all of the mistakes I made along the way, to every emotion I felt throughout, everything, is on this podcast. I wanted to be as honest and real as possible (I did not even edit it out for wrong grammar). I hope that by sharing my “unsexy” process, it will encourage someone somewhere to pick a goal and do the same.
I hope you tune in…
From the bottom of my heart, I want to say THANK YOU! Everything I have the courage and confidence to do now, started because you all challenged me and empowered me to do so. I am crying happy tears because I am so blessed to have had your love and support through this and I hope you ALL continue to support and encourage my crase with this new chapter.
I love you… I thank you… God bless you…
For the last time here: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING!
My Very Best,
Obiageliaku Nwabundo Sarah Chiapa. Now and Forever, The Wawa New Yorker

    “On the Matterr” …that is a noble idea Oby!
    Your authenticity and openness is sooooooo orginial and touching. More grace on your journey to financial freedom.
    May the favour of the Lord rest „on the Matterr” and establish the work of your hands.
