Persistence

Persistance, patience and peace are three "P" words that don't describe me well. However, I have learned as an adult that sticking to something, especially something hard for me, usually pays off.
We have only been on this "financial diet" for about a month and while there are days I really want to go to Target and buy something, or want to eat at my favorite Japanese Kirin House- most days I find peace in keeping with my budget.
BUT the good news is, Persistance pays off. Our credit cards are gone! Only 4 weeks of trying and they are gone. Amazing what you can do when you try.
Now we're focused on paying off my soccermom van, my Odyssey. I LOVE that van, and the idea of not having a van payment anymore is astounding.
