Sick and tired...of being sick and tired ;)

So I will freely admit that I am a Dave Ramsey fanatic. I can't help it, I'm obsessed! I'm not saying that if you are on your road to debt freedom you NEED to be, I'm just saying his way of thinking and telling it how it is, is motivating to ME. So I watch his show every night (well, except Thursdays...it's on at 10 and I am sound asleep by then!! Man, I'm getting old LOL).

Anywho, so Friday on the DR Show is called Debt Free Friday, and this past Friday was kind of cool because not only did it have people who recently got out of debt screaming "I'M DEBT FREE!!!" (my personal goal!), but also people had been out of debt for ten years or more.

Ten. Years. Or. More.

Can you even wrap your brain around that??? Can you even IMAGINE not paying a credit card bill or a student loan payment or a car payment for 10 years? I sure can't. Being in debt for so long has completely stripped me of any hope that being debt free for LIFE, not just temporarily, is even possible. But all of these people are proof that it really is! And it was so great to just 1) hear that it's possible, 2) learn their tips and hear about their struggles, but also 3) hearing the complete and total peace in their voices...it was unreal!

And for them, being free from the chains for these past 10+ years allowed them the opportunity to not only buy the things they wanted or go where they wanted, but allowed them the freedom to be the type people they wanted to be. One couple was able to take in a sixteen year old boy and turn his whole world around! They wouldn't have been able to do that if they hadn't made the COMMITMENT to themselves to rid themselves of debt 10 years ago. A-mazing!

Oh, also, I am selling my Coach wristlets this weekend :( I. Am. BUMMED. I love Coach...I'm a Coach maniac. I can't help it. But I never use the wristlets. I bought them and justified the purchase by saying "oh, well, I hate carrying a purse...I will TOTALLY use these any time I go out". Wrong. I used them once, and hated every minute of having this thing hanging from my wrist. So I put them on Craigslist and got my first e-mail about them. I might be meeting up with the girl today, hopefully she takes them!

Have a fantastic rest of your weekend...don't forget to "Spring Ahead"!

Until next time!
