Trying to keep up
7

I feel like I have been crazy trying to keep up lately. Financially we are holding our own with MUCH diligence - as in I check my numbers almost daily - but my hyper-vigilance seems to be paying off - slowly.

What I am having trouble with is finding the best way to navigate the support - both receiving and offering it - on the boards here. This happened to me last year and it is when I gave up. I really do value this board and the ideas of everyone but I find that often by the time I get to commenting it is a day after something has been posted and everyone seems to have moved on.

Good grief! It sounds like I am whining! That is not my intent! Just any suggestions on how others keep up would be great!

Thanks!

Hi!
I come on the board often, but I often do not post for the reason that you mentioned, but also, at times I feel like I don't have time. If it's the difference between posting or checking my accounts, working on a budget or writing down what I am spending, I choose to work on my finances. However, I come on a daily basis to see what others are saying to get tips, and reminders that there are others struggling on a daily basis with what I am struggling with.

So, I guess I don't have suggestions for "keeping up" but just wanted to let you know that I get what you are saying.

Hi Smoochie,


I think a lot of us feel the same way.

My advice is to go ahead and post, even if you think that everyone else has moved on.

Hugggs Smooch - your comments are always appreciated!


I am obsessed, and this is my only hobby now that I am trying hard to be debt free.

Like you I don't post often, but I do read almost daily and even sneak in on weekends sometimes. I try to support others on here that are doing well and encourage those that need that extra push.
I tend to be brief and abrupt in my postings so hopefully no one thinks I'm being rude.
