wow...paid off much more than I thought!

I just sat down and did the math. We now make $646 more a month (net) than we did just five months ago. I was sitting here thinking that our spending had increased along with our income. It has SEEMED like we are still struggling along, but I think that's because we've been pretty disorganized!!! I just realized that we have paid off nearly $2500 in debt in the past five months!! What has been paid has been some of a credit card, and the other bills were ones collection agencies were calling about and one that went to a lawyer (YIKES!) not necessarily the ones we'd have WANTED to pay.
I hadn't been looking at the big picture of our finances, only each payday as it went; and having things seem to be out of my control (Pay us NOW or we'll see you in court which means it'll cost you more!!) only made me feel more like things were tight and difficult.
DUH!! They aren't as bad as I've thought!
