We have made big progress but we're not there. We've improved spending habits, saved money for emergencies and paid off a lot of debt.

Well About 5 years ago I was fairly debt free and at a job I hated, A great job opportunity landed in my lap and I jumped on it- even though it was a HUGE pay cut. I loved this job and I had been told within a year I would get promoted and with that a raise, so I knew I would accrue a little debt but I figured once I started making more money I would be fine- YA RIGHT. Anyway to keep this sort of short about 2 years ago I hit an all time high on my credit card balance (plus in this time the promotion did come when it was promised, and I NEEDED clothes and some new decor, blah blah blah). When my furnace went out in the middle of the Utah winter and I didn't have the money to fix it HAD to go on my credit card, ugh. I finally decided that I had to get this fixed the balance was going up and not down. I sold my car and drove a '82 Chrysler LaBaron (Google it and find the most beat up, rusted and ugliest color and that will be this car!) at first I was only going to drive it for 4 months and I figured I would be able to get out of half of the debt, but when 4 months was up I was still so excited about all the debt I had paid off that I kept driving it! A few bumps and financial struggles occurred along the way but in just over a year all my debt was gone! I won't bother with the number cause it's embarrassing but what I accomplished was no small feat and just shortly before I had every thing paid off I met my husband and we started a long distance relationship, which wouldn't have been possible had I still been in debt up to my eyeballs. When we got married I was so glad that I had paid all that debt off and I didn't have to bring it in to my new life! I think good things come to those who work hard, good luck and keep at it! Hope you enjoyed my success story, haha.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703100227171520421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872909212815801821.post-13233976970839869402011-02-23T18:59:57.420-06:002011-02-23T18:59:57.420-06:00I didn't even notice we were neighbors :)

We have been trying to save too and it does feel like a diet! Ha!

For the first time I have really started watching where the money goes and see all of the money we waste on ridiculous things. I am pumped to start saving, and paying off debt. Good luck with your goal!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986101732609859226noreply@blogger.com
