Tickled my funny bone, that did.
Good morning, guys!
I have my own little take on the budget board. I have to say, there are some great posters / threads over there. I practice, however, a LOT of skimming. Much like I do on any board on the DIS. You get your doom and gloomers everywhere, and people who feel that if you're posting a personal issue, you've given them a free pass to judge you 'til kingdom come.
Last time I checked, that was a right reserved for God. But who am I?
In all seriousness, I know a lot of people like this in real life, too, and let me say, I'm sure I've been guilty of judging others. Part of my little challenge with that book I was reading is to let go of all the negative, so I'm really working on it. You never know someone's back story.
And on a side note. DH and I are still paying off his student loan. Other than that, we don't have debt. That's it. Don't carry a balance on the cards, cars paid for, you get the idea.
Because we have that debt, some would indicate that we should not be taking any vacations until that debt is paid off. And this is where I disagree. (Mostly with my sister, ha ha.) You never know how long you have or what tomorrow will bring. We had a scare with one of my family members over the weekend. I don't want to go into it, because that family member is a very private person, and I don't want to splash her personal info all over the DIS. Let's just say, I thought I was watching someone die. And we feel very, very, very lucky that she's still here. Thank you, God.
So I don't know how long any of us have, really. Not trying to be so depressing this morning, more of an affirmation. If it means it takes me longer to pay off our one student loan that's left because come h*** or high water, I plan on going to Disney with my family (extended as well) in September, then so be it. It's all about choices. We all make choices.
That being said, it was one thread on the budget board that inspired me so much to pay down that loan, and I do owe a lot to that one. Because of it's positive posters (that's some alliteration for you right there) I was able to reduce that student loan by half.
You take the good, you take the bad, you take it all, and then you have the facts of life....
Anyway...
sorry for the ramble.
Good Mornin'!!!
