What happened to me to today I hope happens at some point to all of you. So I will give you a heads up now your day will come. Don;t be scared or think you are going nuts because you are not.


My toe hopefully will be coming off the 17th. It is same day that our SS check comes in. I already know that I will not be able to sit at the computer for a few days to a week.

I did not post this to get a pat on the back. But thanks. I really posted it for all the new people we have been getting on the board who are so totally stressed out by their debt. I wanted to say to them if you work hard do without a few little things and hold on for a while things can turn around for them too.

All of us old timers know this but even we sometime forget it. Or like me I had been in the hole for so long. I thought it was always going to be that way or I had made some terrible mistake somewhere. Even today I still can't believe it is that much money. In the end we are living and not starving on around 2100.00 a month. Of course we have no kids except two 4 legged ones but we do have a ton of doctor and hospital bills that are always popping up. One doctor I am paying for his 401k each and every month.
