In credit card debt settlement and loving it
Eighteen months ago the hubby and I enrolled in a credit card debt relief program. Each month we get a report on how much progress we’ve made. It’s always nice to see the numbers change. After all, our goal is to get our pesky credit card debt paid off. I think what I am finding the most interesting right now is how much we have changed. I really smile inside when I think about what we used to be like and what we are like now because I know the change is for the better. Stuff used to rule our lives. A holiday coming up - well, gotta go buy some decorations. Fisher Price came out with a new Little People set today - well, that is a must have addition to our son’s toys that already fill his room. We didn’t have money in our checking account for it so on the credit cards it went. We don’t put things like that on our card anymore. It’s not just because we are trying to get rid of our debt. It’s because we know that we don’t need all of that stuff for happiness.
