Whew - Summer can be expensive...

Now that the days are longer I seem to have lots more hours of daylight to contemplate purchases.

Oh do I hear ya on that one! :) I am in a wedding this weekend that I think I am now up to about $400 to be in it and I still have 3 more weddings this summer, thankfully I'm only a guest at those! Sheesh, everytime I turn around there is another expense!
I have been paying myself first every payday lately, so it is nice to see my savings growing. It's slowing down my debt reduction a little, but I am feeling more secure having a savings again. I know that by September I will have all CC debt paid off and I will only owe on my car, so that is making me feel a whole lot better!
Hope you are able to get your spending ideas out of your head and feel better on track with your debt reduction. I know it feels so good to not be as far in debt as you were, and it's so easy to let up on the progress. But letting up on the progress hasn't gotten you to where you are now from where you were. I know you can do it! :)

deciding to be happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, but that you had decided to look beyond the imp
Repeat after me...."Just for today, I am NOT GOING TO DEBT!!!!" (Thank you, Jerrold Mundis!!)
It's always good to be balanced as a team, but it's always easier to be pulling in the SAME direction. Unless, of course, it's both of you spending, LOL! I think you all are doing great, and are staying fairly focused.
Yup, you don't have as much debt as you did 2 years ago, and you have more debt now than you will 2 years from now. You're getting there!
