Okay, the title of this post is a bit hokey.................however, what have you done in the past year on your debt reduction journey that you deserve a "reward" for? (If you do decide to give yourself a reward based on this post, make it a paper diploma or certificate...hang it on the frig!) Do you deserve a reward for starting the journey, finishing the journey, overcoming an obstacle, getting caught up with payments, not bouncing a check? Being patient? Dealing with a partner who was not on board? Self-discipline? Or is is a small thing that adds up..............like being a snowflaker???
What would you get an award for?

Hi, Motorcyclemouse! Loved your answer!
I hereby nominate myself for the "Best Debt Equestrian" award....I fall off the horse, but keep getting back on! (I think I'm riding a horse thru this debt journey....it sure isn't a race car! LOL!)

Hello,
I nominate us for the "Best Use of a Sad Time". I received a $10,000 inheritance that I wasn't expecting, from my grandmother. It went on the mortgage as an extra principal payment, which means that our 30 year fixed mortgage (started in Oct 2004) is now a 16 year fixed mortgage without refinancing. We are that far ahead on the amortization schedule. I cetainly can't expect that kind of inheritance in the future, but it was the best use of the money at the time.
Sincerely,

I think I would give myself an award for being on-track all year. I did have one minor slip-up with an overdraft in July. I forgot to record a receipt that was in my pocket, and lo and behold...a $10 overdraft! I found out about it three days after it happened and rushed to the bank to fix the problem, so although I beat myself up over it at the time, I still consider it minor. :-D
