Hello all! I haven't been on this board in a while, but thought I'd check in. I'm happy to report that months of somewhat strict budgeting are paying off! I've found that I finally make more money that I need for bills and living! So I'm finally starting to save some money and I'm still making more than a minimum payments on my credit cards. I'm so happy! The tips I've gotten on this board have definitely helped. I still have a long way to go but I feel alot less overwhelmed.

How's everyone else doing?? :)

Congrats Cheryl!
I am excited and happy for you!! Can I ask, what seems to be working best for you? Where - in your life - have you been able to make changes and "snowflake"?

Keep up the good work!

I've just been staying on budget, really cut back on extras like eating out, convenience stores, etc. I also transferred some of my credit card balance to my boyfriends lower interest rate card and will be paying it off in chunks.
It seems to be working!
