One aspect of the Great Debt Escape that methinks is discussed too oft-little is the cost of actually trying to live while getting out of debt.

Yeh yeh yeh I know … reduce expenses, direct those savings to debt satisfaction, stop using cards … yadda-yadda, yadadadadada whatevs

And I noticed that many of the debt-free success stories are either (1) single, or (2) in collaborative marriages/partnerships with both parties sharing a common goal.

This, is so very not, that.

How do you save for a rainy day when it won’t … stop … raining?

Persistence, and consistency.  Ugh.  How dull.  Where’s my magic fix?

Being in debt is like being fat.  Gotta put the work in, and none of it is fun.

The results, tho’ … oh-ho-ho!  The results are so worth it.

If they just weren’t so far away.  (Sigh.)

And I misspoke/lied earlier … Half paid to have a dog run installed, so I guess that was my Christmas gift.

I guess. 

Truly, tho’, Half and theKid are the real blessings, and I’m happy/grateful/thankful to have both of them.
{Psalm 84:12}

Now, if I can just get this life-thing right, I can make their lives even better.

Happy New Year.
