Two Steps Back...and back....and back

July 11th, 2011 at 03:14 pm

This seems to be the story of my life. Don't get me wrong; I'm not feeling the least bit sorry for myself, but I am struggling to pay off debt. And with this acknowledgement, I need to keep the challenge from growing out of control. Thusly, if I blog here for all to read, perhaps it will keep me accountable for making the right decisions, not spending needlessly, etc.

On the flip side, however, is the fact that the cost of food is forever going up and up, especially when the cost of gas rises for no true reason. Then when the cost of gas comes down, the food costs don't. Such is the state of this vicious cycle for many of us.

My goal is to use Mary Hunt's Debt Manager to see how I am progressing. I'll make sure to record this progress here. So, with this in mind, I am starting the path to freedom from debt and look forward to many more postings of positive progress in this forum.

    I don't think you're feeling sorry for yourself at all. Because it's true! And not only is the cost of food and gas way up there, I'm seeing increases in practically every aspect of my life, from my car insurance to property taxes to health insurance.

    I agree with patientsaver. Unless you're in the top 1% of income earners, chances are you're working just as hard as harder but your income is stagnating or decreasing, and your cost of living getting higher.

    It's unfortunate but a fact of life, so good for you for taking steps to control what you can.
