and put the budget notebook and debt tracking chart away. No matter how I play with the numbers it is what it is and when I think I worked out something better it falls apart.
Today I started playing with a snowball spreadsheet I received from another board and I have pretty much made myself sick over it. I know I owe alot ($32,000.00 - that includes car payment), but see how long it will take for me to pay it off just makes me nauseous and overwhelmed.
I need to remember two important things 1) I cut up all my cards (even the one I used yesterday at Target) and 2) I am never late in paying my bills and I pay more than the minimum amount due.
I need to do my budget for the month and just stick to it. It is not going to change so I don't know why I need to bring it to work with me everyday and go over it with a fine tooth comb like I am going to find a ton of money that I did not account for.
It is so nerve wrecking. I know now much money I have between now and when we leave for Disney. As long as I stick to it I will have plenty of money with a few bucks left over for when I get back. I need to stop obessing. I have a horrible, horrible headache.
I am even obsessing over the stupid Disney Itneriery - what are our reservations? where are we going when.... Uggg, I feel like I my head is going to blow!!
So here I am writing to you that I need to put the notebook away and I am thinking "before I do, let me do just one more thing". What thing do I truly have to do??!? It is what it is and no matter how many times I write it it will stay the same.
