The monotonous stage of debt reduction…

We’ve joined another financial class. OK, so it’s not a new class… it’s actually the same one we took before.

It’s important to keep focus at this stage. Things are getting monotonous.

We’re still five months from our next payoff and time is dragging at an all time slow speed.

At this point, I start to think, ‘Would it be so bad to spend a little?’ Especially this week. Every time I left or returned from work, my nostrils were filled with the unmistakable scent of a homeless man. Wait… let me be politically correct… it smelled like an ‘urban camper.’

Thinking it was because I share transportation with multiple urban campers, I shrugged it off… until I figured out the scent was RADIATING from my seven year old purse (Obviously I’m not a purse gal). Realizing this, I wanted to drop a fast 15 bucks on a new one (told ya I wasn’t a purse gal).

BUT, I’ve been guilted by Dave Ramsey to ‘Live like no one else’

Soooo…

I threw my smelly purse in the washer.

Now my purse is faded, frayed, and smells like dewy sunshine.

It’s AWESOME.

Sometimes living like no one else isn’t a bad thing.

Good choice! I’m not a purse girl either. My last purse I had until it fell apart:) Keep your eye on the prize!

I just bought a new purse ($15) for the first time in years. If only my previous one had been washable……good for you!
