    Default I feel better now!

    I have been a little in the dumps. While the debt is really going down quickly I have been stuck on the same BS so long that my butt was starting to drag.

    It seems every single decision I make around here involves money, how to budget it, spend it, save it, move it, I AM SICK OF MONEY and or the lack thereof....

    My life is great and getting better everyday but some days......

    So last night I flipping channels and Dave was on and lo and behold he was captioned! Now I read the book--3 times but as a hearing impaired person the show was useless to me. I can't read his lips and calls--are you kidding me lol???!!

    So I watched and saw just how bad it could be and it was reinforced to me that I am doing it right and doing it well.

    I just need to just wait it out and continue with my budgets, penny pinching and was turns out to be sound money decisions and I will be debt free when it is TIME to be debt free and not one penny before.

    If you were like me and feeling down, take the time to take another look at not only where you are going but where you came from. It will jump start you back to inspired and motavated.

    Oh and thanks FOX for captioning!
    The math never lies, budget in INK!

    Amount of Free items 2012 $391.33


    Debt #2 12/31/12 CC $901.88
    Debt #3 12/31/12 $3648.83

    Madness, mayhem chaos...my work here is done!

    Sometimes we get hung up on a certain thing and forget how well we are doing in other areas. The best thing....your debt is going down. That's awesome!! Keep it up.

    Yay! You are a great cheerleader Cricketlegs, and I could really use one as well. I know what you mean about your whole world dwelling about money -- how to save it, pinch it, budget it on and on and on....actually I told dh today that we are going to treat ourself to a nice dinner when our next step is done (the van) and I mean at a nice sit down, cloth napkins, no happy meals kinda place...I think everyone deserves to lighten it up once in a while yk? Keep it up I find your posts inspiring!

    Cricketlegs you are doing an amazing job. You have had to deal with a lot of issues within your budget and I applaud you for hanging in there. It does seem daunting at times and discouraging, we have all been there. Hang in there and when you make that last debt payment you will be so happy. You are an inspiration to me and I enjoy reading your posts.
