Feeling Motivated
I'm not sure how long it'll last, but I do know where it came from. I'm starting to feel empowered again. It really helps to see my debt for what is is, only money. I know "only money" sounds trite, but really acknowledging how much is left on my car and what my current student loan balance is, for one loan, was not only an eye opener, it was a relief.
I'm still scared to look @ the total picture, logically I know, like the above, knowing the total number won't *kill* me, it's just that emotionally I'm not quite ready. I will be though, I'm working up to it this month.
But dealing w/what's already in front of me, makes me feel when I'm ready to face the rest, I can do it. The e-book I bought is also helping. Most times, I pick these things up and read a page or two and put it away, but I've been walking w/this book everywhere. Reading it in every free moment and finding myself eager to get some of the mini assignments done.
I've started tallying what I currenly have to pay off debt & also bonus monies that's pending. I don't like to rely too much on bonus monies as it varies from month to month. Plus I have some things I can sell off, some services I can make money from and some current advertisers on other sites I am following up with.
