Oh, only two eh? Hmmmm..............

1. I am thankful I have the means to pay the debt back and am not currently charging necessities to live.(ie, at least I still have a job!)

2. I am thankful I have come as far as I have, in as short of a time.

I'm thankful for:


1-My cooking ability which lets me get creative with whatever is in the pantry already and not having to go out and spend additional money.


2-A sound mind to find a new job or use it to keep the one I have for now.

2. I'm thankful that my family isn't materialistic. The kids have had their eyes wide open through their parents' debt journey and understand fully the difference between need and wants. They also believe in keeping things simple, which is tough in this day and age.
