Wow here we are in 2021! I have read this type of board each year and have really been amazed at all of the big things that people are able to accomplish. I thought this would be my year to see if I can do big things too. About me-I have been on this site for a long time. At first it was to...

I have the same issue. I typically can find a good deal on Curvy Fit dress pants at JCPenney. They have several styles that you can try to see which one looks the best. I find the Curvy fit works for me without going up a size and looking dumpy.

We are on the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan and was wondering is the sushi considered an appetizer? Thank you in advance.

I am back in the game again this year. But I can honestly say that last year we did really make some true progress. Having this forum really helped me to stay motivated. If I was down it was nice to see someone else have some success and remind me of what I needed to do to get back on track...

I am trying to work hard this month to basically eat out of the freezer and cabinets. My plan is to only buy fresh stuff as we need. I have plenty to eat up and my goal is to shave $75 off of our weekly grocery bill. Which I plan to buy Disney gift cards to save for our trip in October. I am...

We all have those kinds of hiccups. :scared: The important thing is to not loose hope. It is easy for me when things get tough to think that it is hopeless and forgo my debt reduction. But remember this is why you are starting this journey so when there is a problem you can deal with it a...

So happy for your!:cheer2::cheer2: Keep at it and keep us posted. Gets me really motivated to read these types of things on here.:grouphug:

I am still here! I have been reading the posts regularly and you are all so motivating. As with us August was a yucky month but we managed to charge very little and in comparison to previous years. I was able to pay back all that I charged except for about $150 so that it not too bad. On a...

Love reading about your trip report. It is nice to hear the good and the bad. Can you share which Springhill hotel it? So many hotels down there!

I am not a friend of credit card debt-I have been paying off as much as I can each month. OP check out the Debt Dumpers Forum on here as it is very motivating and encouraging. I still have a way to go but I have had much success this year. In addition the title of your post is deciding to...

That is such great news!!! :thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2 This month is a little tougher for us that the usual months because all of the back to school items and fees. But being in a better place this year I can pay cash for everything without charging anything so that is huge progress for...

Last year we went to see family in PA/NJ and did little side trips to DC and NY City. It was a world wind trip and I wouldn't have traded a moment for anything. That trip was about $2,500 because of fuel cost and didn't need but a few days of hotels. Money well spent. This year we are not...

I can totally understand the importance of balancing debt with Disney. If I had AP I would be using them as much as I could in the next year. I had the same issue as you did. I used to just pay minimums and keep on trucking. I was never behind on anything so that was good but I was just...

Life happens to all of us and before you know it the debt is high. We have all been there and some of us are still in the same boat as you. One good thing is that your life events have been great ones. When I started at the beginning of the year I paid the minimums on all of my debt and...

I feel for your situation. I am in a situation where my mom lives with us about 6 months out of the year. (In the winter she is in a senior area in Florida) So I do know what it is like to have someone in the home long term. My points are based on my experience and just some words of...

If I had my way I would go every year but of course for my family that is not reasonable. When we lived in New Orleans we would drive to Disney and pretty much was able to go every year. Now we go every other year for the most part. We do not live near family so every other year we head...

I soo wish that I could take advantage of this but I cant go until next year. But it was so nice to see another Dis member from Fort Worth like me:banana:

You have come so far with your savings this year. You should be proud and this is no time to have DOUBTS about yourself. You know the rules of the game and seem to have played everything just as you should. I hope that you get a good interest rate as I have seen them climbing up recently. It...

I am not going until next November so I am not shopping for the trip yet.:( But I have to say that the Pluto shirt is pretty darn cute and I would look good in it. But alas no shopping for me. Anyway I got a 20% off code. ONSAVE20 for online or in store usage. I don't know if it can be...

I am the same way. I feel better in my head if I have a trip planned even if it is next year! We are not doing a big vacation this year because I have some financial goals to get to by the end of the year. But we are planning a day trip to a water park (about a 3 hour drive away :scared:) And...
