Celebrating the baby steps

March 21st, 2008 at 02:41 pm

This week I only had to pay for my own lunch at work 1 day as I was treated to lunch by the company for the other 3 days. The company was closed Friday so I was at home today for lunch.

We seem to have cut back our spending unintentionally this month as after all the bills are paid and our monthly extra expenses are covered I have been left with a large amount than I thought, so I'll be putting that money towards paying down the CC. We had several unexpected expenses added to the CC this month, so I'm pleased to be able to pay some extra towards it. We will not have it paid off by the end of March, which was my original goal at the beginning of the year. However I hope to have reduced it to just over 1000 EUR by the end of the month. It's still better than it was at the beginning of the year and on top of that we have made bigger strides in both our retirement and long term savings already this year, so I guess that I should not feel too bad about not reaching that goal.

    Hi there, I think you are doing the right thing by celebrating what you have been able to accomplish. I've learned that if I beat myself up over things I can't control (like having to put an unexpected expense on my credit card), then it just makes me unmotivated.

    Sounds like you are both taking the right steps, good luck!
