This week....I think I get a C-

March 25th, 2011 at 02:01 pm



Ok....so if I were going to grade myself I would say I probably earned a C- this week. And that may be with a curve. I made some small credit card payments, but only $40 worth. And I realized that one of my starting balances was wrong. But on the upside, I realized that I had $67.00 in an IRA that I forgot about. And I have an automatic transfer from my payroll to take $10.00 out and put it in a savings. My thought...out of site, out of mind.

I have to keep in mind that this is my first week really trying. And its been hard because my husband is out of town for work and unfortunately I want to shop or go out to eat when he's not there.

Keep your fingers crossed folks! There may be hope for me yet!

    $40 is 5% of credit card 1 debt. That was a very good thing to do. Smile

    Ironically, not being able to get out to shopping or eat may be a good thing when you are trying to get out of debt. It may force you to think about what food you already have at home to eat instead of going out to eat. It may force you to think about what you could do at home for entertainment instead of going shopping, to the cinema, etc. Don't be to hard on yourself. When you first start on the debt free journey, it is difficult to change your mindset. You are doing fine and you will do better next week.

    I think $40 is awesome! Keep doing this and you will be debt free before you know it!
