Whew! What a relief. It's has if I sometimes have a pain when there is something that I would like to have and I tell myself; no! But, I am learning that it gets easier to do with time. The more I say no, the easier it gets. I wonder if we all learned to say no, if the nation would not be in such a financial mess. You can read about it here: http://www.ourstockmarketjourney.blogspot.com/ Maybe they should come out if ad campaigns for adults that say: JUST SAY NO TO EXCESSIVE SPENDING. Be well.

I also spend money I shouldn't because I want things now. Our nation is addicted to consumerism. The economic downturn stinks, but one good side of it is that I think people(including myself) are learning how to be more thrifty. I am glad you can admit it.

I was in a pretty hairy financial situation myself about three years ago and I will be debt free at the end of November. It's become sort of a game to watch the balances drop on my credit cards and student loans. Good job on being able to pay off the debt by Fall of ‘09!
