Still a little shaky.

It's been a hard week for me, moneywise. I just found about about $2,000 in unexpected expenses, and I'm worried that it will further damage my schedule to get rid of the credit card debt. I'm already about two months behind.

I signed up for a ton of extra shifts at the second job, and hope my tax refund/relief check will also help.

I've been looking for other areas to cut spending, and since I really didn't want to get rid of my cable, I've decided to cut out alcohol entirely. I've been drinking alot lately, and I think it will be better to just quit all together for right now.

I got Suze Orman's "Women and Money" free from that Oprah show, so I've been reading alot of that lately, but so far it's nothing new.

Aww...well chin up soon. I had a few of those frustrating days recently where life happened and ruined my plans and goals.
I think victory will be that much sweeter for us who sometimes struggle toward our goals!

I printed out the e-book to read this weekend. Seems like a lot of us are having life happen to but a bit of a block in our plans. I gave up beer for lent and am hoping to see an "improvement" in my food budget.

Keep the faith.
