I will live like no one else today, so I can live like no one else tomorrow!
Now obviously, I am not the only one who is on a journey of getting out of debt. I know I am not the only person who is making sacrifices and make extra payments on their current debt to be rid of it faster. But, I still keep that statement in mind because honestly, most everyone I am around on a daily basis aren’t doing it. A part of the reason I fell into these bad habits to begin with. I am not blaming my bad habits with money or debt on anyone but myself, but living like everyone else today is a part of why I am here right now.
I take this statement to heart. I am still learning to the full extent what it means. I still hold back on being super intense (gazelle intense for all you DR fans). I want to sell the Xbox and Wii, I want to sell the extra TV and Apple TV. I want to put that money towards our next CC we will begin to pay off. I hesitate though because of my kids. I know they would be fine, but my kids didn’t make the debt decisions I did. It wasn’t their fault and I feel that if I sell the things that are theirs that would be wrong of me to do. So, although I am still deciding what kind of living I am willing to do, I am still making some decisions that most everyone around me is not so that in the future (tomorrow), I can have fun to the fullest without taking on more debt. I can say “sure I can go out to eat with you”, “sure I can go get a pedi with you”, on a moments notice. I want to be able to turn to my kids in the morning and say “let’s go out today and do this and this” and not have to figure out how we can afford it.
This journey continues to open my eyes to the real reasons behind what got me here and why I want to change it. I will continue to focus on those whys and although I will make mistakes, I will not allow us to get back to where we started, in debt and drowning.
