Hi there,

it has been quite some time since I posted on this board - partly because working full-timeinstead of part-time is keeping me oh-so-busy. Which is the good news I'd like to share with you.

The not-so-good news is that I managed to go overboard with spending again, partly because I needed more office clothes etc. (since I can't wear the same thing every day for a full week, can I?), partly because I again slipped into that mode of compulsive spending on useless crap I simply buy because I feel like I am entitled to it. It is an uphill struggle, as always...

The overall outlook, fortunately, is bright. My MIL sold her house (she didn't live in it anyway) and we are going to get part of the money. Better than inheritance, she says, because this way we can enjoy it together with her. I like that approach! So it looks like I have a decent chance to pay most of my debt before the end of this year. Yay!

... and then there will be the next challenge: Not slipping down again. But I guess that will be easier once I do not have to spend a full 20% of my monthly income on debt.

Greetings to all of you,
the still part-time visiting Jordis
