I may be busy the next couple of days, so If I haven't posted, I will later in the week.....


About to go to bed.....but I was reading all kinds of financial news online and just thinking about where this crazy economy is going....and where will it take me?


I tried cleaning the house this weekend, but I just ended up making a bigger mess, but I did get rid of a few bags of garbage, and I cleaned out my purse...I actually had one that I cleaned out and threw out.....the plastic coating inside it was flaing off inside and making a mess.

Littlebigs,

I know the debt load will eventually diminish, just hang in there. I believe the gym will help with your stress level on this, I too need to get back to the gym to help with this. I feel okay about what my family is doing to relieve us of our debt but hubby is the one that has little faith. I can't believe he can't see the financial changes that have come about because of changing our ways. He sees more of the doom and gloom aspect of a lot of things. I know I can't change his perspective of things but need to just keep showing him that re-working our budget and keeping to it will work in the long run.

Tonight I told him I would go back to work and do whatever to help us accomplish our goals a lot faster if that would give him some peace of mind. We owe quite a bit back in student loans and that is all he can see. He really makes good money but he is trying to convince me I need to get on board with him on a business venture he has been into for about 19 years (been there with him, done that). I told him I would go back to school and or work before helping him with it(we clash big time).

I have faith that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I too did some big time cleaning this weekend and feel GREAT about it! I have been living the "Less is More" life lately and I love it. My husband and I are TOTAL opposites when it comes to money and life and at times can be quite difficult. I am learning to reach out here on this board to lend support as well as to just vent about my journey with debt.

Wishing you the best and just remember to take it one day at a time!
