Well, I still have no credit card debt. I am putting as much money away as I can. Living as frugally as I can and that is pretty much the state of affairs I find myself in.
It is all good. It is stable at this point. Staying out of debt and paying as I go!
Checking In!

I have learned to live below my means and not feel deprived while doing it. I question my purchases now. I have a basement full of "stuff" that at one time or another I thought I "NEEDED"! In point of fact I needed very little if any of it!
I have come to adopt the motto, "Use it up, wear it out, make due, do without!"
Bag lunches, coffee from my thermos, and becoming a clearance rack shopper have really helped me save!
Free events provided by the town are a great help! The library is a great source of free movies and books as well as periodicals! Why buy or rent when the library provides so many things?
I have come to love board games played with my family! We have become Scrabble junkies!
I kept with my investment plan when the market crashed. Guess what? It has paid off handsomely! I just kept putting money away and the dollar cost averaging worked well for me!
My DW and DD are both doing well. DD is back at school and and DW is watching her spending! All good stuff.
My message to all is that you can get to where you want to go. It requires work and you must persist but you can and will get there! Never ever give up!!!
I hope to be cecking back in here more often!
