I know I started and then dissapeared for a little bit. It is just so frustrating that I can't get our heads above water. I just feel like a failure, and really didn't want to post about our progress, because it was all negative.

Anyway, I will be posting more...Just wanted to check in.

Thank you Robin!

I feel better when people talk about feeling the same way I do.

Martha, it's okay...debt progress for the majority of us is very slow. But one thing is for sure by facing it head on we will get there! Get your plan in place & just start, you may have set backs (we all do) but it will get better!!
Have a good day!

Martha,
Sorry things haven't been going well for you. However, please keep posting. We are a very supportive group. We want to hear about everything, good and bad. This is a reason why this board is here for.

Hang in there, girl.

Martha - we definitely all have our ups & downs here but please feel free to post even when it's not good news.


Even if you just want to vent, I know it makes me feel better to get it all out and especially with people who can understand the journey.


You are not a failure, it's a long journey and sometimes it's a journey backwards before going forwards.

Hi, Martha. Dont be afraid or embarrassed to come here. Sometimes, I dont want to even go to the weekly accountability thing because I know I "failed" somewhere, or let my guard down, or raided the savings account (!) But, I look at other's stories and ideas----Heather, Shannon, Danni, et al, have invaluable tips. Visit the snowflake board, too. Count the small victories. Remember----when you feel you put one foot forward, and two steps back--where is that other foot? Forward! Even if you only snowflaked $5.00, that still counts! Whiz.

Martha,

I understand where you're coming from. Every time we feel like we'll have a snowflake or some "extra" money for a bill, something comes along. We are budgeting, but there are so many new unexpected expenses from living in a house now. Wow! And the gas prices are eating me alive!!!!! We're all going at this slowly, and we'll get there eventually. I'm glad you're along for the ride with us. (and I'm AWFUL about checking in, too)

Wow - I just read this post tonight - after an entire evening of images from New Orleans.

All my best,
Danni

I hadn't even thought of it like that.

I realize my problems are insignificant compared to theirs....

This week has been a bad week for us and I just keep telling myself...

"We will get out of debt one dollar at a time!"

Just keep repeating, one dollar at a time
