Yesterday we didn't have any progress in the moving department because lucky ole' me got a migraine. Took me out from like 3 o'clock yesterday until I woke up this morning. It was pretty bad. I need to go to the chiropractor but even with insurance the doctor is too expensive and I would have to get a "health credit card" and pay it off over time. Which I guess wouldn't be that bad, but we are trying to get out of debt. Not make more.
Getting out of debt is something else I want my family to do right. We kind of follow the Dave Ramsey plan... kind of. Our goal is to pay off the smallest debt first (a credit card) and then when that's paid off take the money we used to spend on that and roll it over to the next smallest, etc. In theory it works. No it works. We've done it before. All of our credit cards were paid off before we got married... and then we bought things for the wedding and other things. And now we are back to where we were 2 years ago. Except now we have added a car (needed) and bedroom furniture (not as needed but super nice!). We can't add anymore "not needed" items to our debt list. It is irresponsible.
I am looking forward to today getting a lot of packing knocked out. And a lot more things thrown away. I think the more trips we make out to the dumpster today the more our old apartment will look "packed up". So no time like the present!
Life's too short to have too much stuff,
Sandy
