Well, the past 10 months have been financially challenging to say the least.

Hi Robyn,


So sorry you are going through this. You have been such a great support to myself and everyone on the board.


These debts that you mention seem reasonable to me. There is nothing wastefull in there, and the reality is, you had no other choice.


You could have thrown in the towel and said "screw it" and charged away, but you didn't. Instead, you reworked the plan and realized that a few more months won't be the end of the world!


You can do this!


Good luck!

You will get there. I am not doing so great anymore either. It will be October before I get anything big on the debt paid. Sometimes you just have to stay above it a little and let life do its

OH, my dear, I'm in the same boat. We just decided to take advantage of the Cash for Clunkers program yesterday and, if all goes well, I'll once again have a car payment. Our car was not going to make it any longer, though (177,000 miles on a ford) but it still about makes me sick. On top of that, DD is about to start college and we didn't quite have all of it covered. Then there's property taxes that I'm going to put on a CC offer at 0% for 12 months. It's all a bit much.

Sorry Robyn, I didn't mean for this to be all about me, just sharing in the knowledge that you are not alone and we will do this together! I agree about the ticker too. Good plan :)

Dee

Hey, Dee.


I didn't think you were highjacking my post at all, LOL.
