Great advice here. I actually just enacted some of them myself with my journey to debt freedom.

I agree that I need to work on my small rewards. It seems to be difficult to reward yourself on the path of financial debt relief because a lot of rewards would cost money.

I’ll be sure to reference your blog from time to time while I work on my own finances!

I always love it when I see bloggers talking about setting goals. I think it’s one of the least talked about parts of financial planning but one of the most important. If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there?

Thanks for adding this great info!

Goals are very, very important. Not just any goals, S.M.A.R.T. goals. And keep up the good work, MSMomsmoney!

Thanks BM.

You are VERY right…six months go, I would have thought it was impossible to be where I am now.

It was that feeling of being overwhelmed, and not knowing where to start.

Little did you know at the time–that you would be so much help to me–and start me, and continue to encourage me, to be in a better place $$ (and emotionally–less stress worrying about finances).

I remember telling you I know myself, I would NEVER keep track of my daily expenses.

Now I do –and don’t mind it at all.

I actually enjoy finding ways to save, and finding deals. It’s a very rewarding hobby.

And trying to find something new each day to add on to what I am already doing is a fun challenge.

Also realizing that I am a work in progress–and not doing everything right…but working on improving my situation, helps me greatly.

Thanks again–

And small rewards, is something I do need to work on–

Thanks again friend.
