Starting the Journey
| Wed, 10-15-2008 - 11:55am |
This was the week when I finally realized that burying my head in the sand about my debt was never going to solve my chronic debt problems.

I know you say luck has nothing to do with it, but I'll say good luck anyways! You can do this, it just takes hard work.
And don't worry about saying no to your children. It won't kill them and will help them learn the value of money. That is an important lesson to teach, otherwise they will follow in your footsteps. Your kids love you for you, not for what you can give!
Keep us updated!

Welcome
If you want post your budget and your bills. The ladies can look at it and you ideas where to cut to get more money to put on the debt beside the normal monthly payment.
Every dollar extra you can find by using coupons or cutting back

I'm trying to make a ticker myself and no mater how many times I try to do it, it won't work.
Yes it will, and if you're up for it, you can do it!
DH and I did it not by cutting expenses (we were already living frugally) but by him getting a weekend job (he's a SAHD, I'm the breadwinner) for a couple of years, and by me changing careers to a higher paying job. Luck did play a part in it - I was lucky enough to work for a company that gave me the opportunity to do it, and for once in my life, I was in the right place at the right time. But mostly it was hard work and discipline from both me and DH.
We had a five-year plan to eliminate our debt and paid off over $100,000 in less than four years. You can do it, too!
