This week is a short pay week for us. So I have decided to make this week as much as a free week as I can. Going to find free things with my coupons, free or cheap entertainment. Not We need entertained mind you. We have work to be done around the house and I have a project to finish. So that most likely will be our entertainment. lol.
Since this is short pay week I only pay out the 1/4 of our house payment. But I think I can find an extra 5-20.00 to send to a bill this week as well. I figure even the smallest of payments add up over time. At this point something is better than nothing.
Nothing new on the Student loan crisis that is earth shattering news at this point. I hope that one day we can all wake up and find out some good news on this crisis. But I have come to the conclusion that it will not happen anytime soon. So move ahead and do the best I can to pay on my loans and hope that it does not mess up my life too badly.
The one thing this mess had done is make me take a hard look at our finances and forced me to take action against our debt. And I am not sad about that at all. I welcome the challenge now even though to get here was a hard road. I got organized and now can see the small changes to our debt. Even the smallest of payments makes a difference. As each day or week passes I am thinking of ways to make an extra dollar, save an extra dollar and hope to see those debt numbers go down as each month passes.
I say it all the time. This is hard and scary. But not impossible. Just do something about it.
