    Default A big hurdle for me

    Was feelin' kinda down about not seeing any debts moving yet. Today I got over a big hurdle. My car is officially worth more than what I now owe on it. Oh yeah!! Been upside down on a vehicle for so long I'm not sure how to react, so thought I'd put it here. I'm liking this feeling big time!! It's addicting and now I'm wondering what else I can do to keep this feeling going.


    Bring on them baby steps...
    Step 1: done
    Step 2: waiting on amount, hubby had followup colonoscopy, I had visit to ER with followup procedure
    Step 3: to follow, won't know aim until things settle
    Step 4: to follow, currently at 6%
    Step 5: grown child
    Step 6: huge mortgage ANNIHILATED!!
    Step 7: ahhhh....

    Congratulations! Sometimes it's hard to see the trees for the forest - and you just have to accept the milestones as they happen.

    Good job!

    Yep, you're gaining ground. Now make a note of it on your calendar, being sure to keep the calendar after the new year and make a note of every milestone along the way. Occaissionally look back at them, esp. when you're feeling discouraged. It helps rekindle those feelings of excitement and accomplishment.
