    Staying on track

    Hi,

    I haven't posted in a couple of months, but I have been reading posts once in awhile.  Just wanted to give all you guys a huge thank you!!  Big Smile

    Since I started reading this forum I have cut up my credit cards, decided to make a budget and STICK TO IT! 

    We have completely paid off one card, and making good progress on the others.

    By coming to this site and reading posts, and also checking out 4 or 5 "frugal" blogs every day I am staying on track.  I still come across lots of "things" that I think I need, but I've learned to step back and think about it for a few days.  99.9% of the time I don't buy it.

    My DH especially thanks you!  He watches money a lot better than I do and over the years has tried to get me to quit spending so much (and looking back I don't know how he put up with me sometimes!!)  We have started working together to get bills paid off instead of me spending and him worrying.

    We still have a long way to go, but we WILL get there.

    Big hugs to all of you, and thanks for being here!

    Stacy

    It sounds like you are on track! It's an accomplishment when you make progress--especially in paying off credit card debt. That was our big monster that kept us from getting ahead. Best of luck!
