An example how I’ve cut down, I’ve just cancelled my cell phone contract and got a prepaid ‘straight talk’package from Walmart for $30 per month for 1000 any time/anywhere minutes & 1000 text messages.
You could also save $1200 over a period of two years if you cancel your cell contract and get the $45 a month prepaid ‘straight talk’ package from Walmart for ulimited calls and unlimited text. You save despite paying the cancellation fee of the contract.
Spending money on something that enriches your life and is like a form of meditation is money well spent don’t you think?

Somehow, with working and juggling job duties, it got buried in the “lost dream file.” This makes my determination to work toward life without debt even more urgent.

I love my frugal life in general… Things that make me sad are not being able to go and see my best friend in New Zealand after he just broke up with his long term partner… But Skype is a wonderful (and frugal) invention :)

It is very rare (never) that you don’t say something that resonates with my life.

It makes me laugh when people say that debt free and often frugal living is somehow cheating oneself of something – usually ‘fun’. They never see the irony of living any other way than within ones means – debt is spending future earnings – doh! If you spend future earnings on holidays, clothes, shoes, fancy dancy this that and the other – there will be a day in the future that it catches up.

It caught up with the banks, what makes the spenders on credit think they are any different?

Jessica and Forest, I wish you the best of luck. When you are debt free you will feel so free in yourselves.

I have managed to sell a few prints for very low money in the past and that was always fun.

I’m working towards my life without debt now. Some days I get frustrated because it seems like I am not making any progress. For this I adapted Davy Ramsey’s pay the smallest debt first.
