Another milestone...

Today we paid another couple hundred on the Visa which brings our balance below $6,000. It's SO nice to see the balance below that amount and I can't wait til it's even smaller. What a pain this is. We are in the crappy part.......the just-get-this-over-with stage. Maybe this is the portion of the lesson that really drives the "Debt Sucks" home. Suffering through this part is so we NEVER forget how bad this blows.

Today I paid the bills and as usual, I'm so grateful that there's enough there to pay all of them and fill our envelopes. DH is a good provider. I think that he is getting tired of this whole thing also. It's tiring to pay every single extra cent to this damn debt. I'm so sick of it. But - on we march. We continue to stay focused - even if I'd really like to just go blow an entire paycheck and go on some fabulous vacation to somewhere else besides the debt pit. Yes...it's more of a pit than the canyon it started out as. See? I'm feeling better already. But did I say that this SUCKS??? Okay - just as long as I'm making myself clear on that point.

Okay - sounds like I need to remind myself of what the future will be like.....excellent retirement contributions, ample savings for a rainy day, vacations and weekenders, a decent yard, new paint in the house, bedroom furniture (including closet organizers), DATES WITH DH!! I can't wait for those! This will all be worth it....this will all be worth it....this will all be worth it....
