Checking In

I've been so busy that I havent' been on a computer in two days.  My energy levels are at an all time low and I just can't find the energy to complete small tasks.  I haven't been on the computer in a couple of days but as I was catching up on blogs that I read, I ran across a paragraph from one of my favorite bloggers Bridget from Money After Graduation was talking about debt as a dating deal breaker.  Since I'm married that part doesn't apply to me but she aptly described how debt makes her feel. 
She said "Debt is a one-of-a-kind, soul-crushing burden. It puts a damper on every day. It turns my decent salary into pittance. It forces me to go without many things I enjoy. Ultimately, it just exhausts me with its demands on my bank balance. I want to keep the money I earn, I don’t want to give it away to my past spending — or someone else’s."  That paragraphy just resonates with me.  That's how I feel about our debt.  My husband makes a good salary and with what I bring in, we should be able to do fantastic things (along with saving a ton of money), but because of our out of control past-spending, we're stuck in a not so fun place.  The only way to get out is to put our focus on paying off the debt and whittling it away as fast as we can.
