Small Things Please Me….

I find myself being more grateful for the small things of life.  I can’t tell you how grateful I was to be able to shower myself finally!   But today I was reconciling our household account and found I had actually made a math error and had $50 extra dollars.    So what to do with the extra money???  Well I have found that it is best to put anything extra towards a bill than keep it as we always find some way of spending it.   And it was money I didn’t even know we had and wasn’t planning on!  So I logged onto one of my credit cards and paid it off in full!  YEAH!!  Another one down!   I can’t tell you how great of a feeling that is.   So now the minimum payment from my paid off card will roll over to our next debt.  That will increase our blazer payment until that will be paid off in February or March.   YEAH!! 

It is such a great feeling to see each one of these debts disappear.  Being able to track our progress on debtproofliving.com really keeps me motivated.   I am always so excited to find ways to live even more below our means.  I wish we had done this years ago, but now we are working hard towards becoming debt free.   Granted we don’t live all that frugally in many aspects of our lives, but we do cut corners to be able to spend our money on the things we *want to spend it on.   I could save alot if I convince my hubby to forego cable TV and a few other luxuries, but those are important to him.    He works hard and should have those things so I just find other areas that aren’t that important to us.   There are alot of things we don’t thinkg about that really add up in the long run!
