March 2005 vs. March 2006

April 5th, 2006 at 10:41 pm

Well, I was looking at my entries for March of last year:
I was getting TONS of creditor calls and could not even manage minimum payments...I was paying every other month!...My car broke down and had to spend a lot of money repairing it!...also, Fiona, our dog, was then just a puppy and creating all sorts of trouble at the house!

What a difference a year makes!
Nowadays, I am making payments that are slightly higher than minimum payment (of course, I have less credit cards, and lower balances!! YAY, ME!!)...I am trying to get money to buy a new car, so I guess in that sense I'm worse off than last year...and, while Fiona still creates trouble sometimes, these are now exceptions, and not the rule!

This was a good exercise, it helped me put things in perspective...I've still got a long way to go, but, there has DEFINETELY been a lot of progress!!

    It's one of the great advantages of the journals is that you can go back and see that all those little steps do add up over time. it gives you a chance to see the progress whereas if you didn't record where you were back then, you may have focused solely on still not being debt free.

    Congrats on the progress and keep chipping away at it. You will get there!
