Some personal realizations...(all good)
| Mon, 11-30-2009 - 5:34pm |
Since Oct. I have made some really interesting observations about money and myself that I truly think will help me in my debt journey...(Warning..long post)
1. Debt does not make me a bad person.


Well said, Duke.

Congrats on your realizations. It will be interesting to see if others post things they have discovered about themselves, too.
You really have accomplished a lot!!!
I do think sometimes our society has gotten too into the idea of more more more!!
I think this was a great exercise for you Duke.
Well said, Duke! Those are some pretty terrific realizations. :)
You have summed it all up very well.

Good Post, Duke Man!
I like this post because I am in it LOL! Just kidding! a lot of people blindly pay down debt and have no idea why they are doing it. They often skip this step which I think is a vitally important for not getting back into debt after they pay everything off. Some do not take the time to figure out what makes them tick and over spend. You have adequately broached this subject for your self and it bodes well to your future. You didn't mention it specifically but I think you have also gotten the #1 rule to paying down debt and building wealth. SPEND less than you earn. It really is that simple but evades most of as life carries us away.
Ummmm, I would really like to see that ticker under $50,000 before the end of year or at the latest January 31, 2010. Wouldn't that feel great! Very doable without taking a second job. Have you set any small goals yet with dates attached to them?
I think you have done tremendously well with your house and retirement savings. You can build on them and make them worth every penny When the 51,960 is gone.
I totally pictured you with a cat.
Again, great post.
