I’ve Paid For This Twice Already…

I Commit Publicly To…

When Brip Blap tagged me in his meme, I Commit Publicly To…, I never thought this is the declaration I would be making. I’ve been publicly declaring debt reduction goals and dedicating alternative income to them for months now. So my public declaration

I commit publicly to eliminating our credit card debt

by August 2008

might seem odd. And kind of a cop out. But circumstances have changed for us in those few days - I lost my source of income, which was not large in and of itself, but was a big part of our accelerated snowballing. Most of my income was going towards our debt reduction, and without that, this just became just that much harder.

So, I am publicly declaring that we will not be thwarted. We will not let this setback throw us into despair. We will still tackle that credit card debt, and we will still get rid of it as soon as possible. It is going to require some adjustments for us, and I am already starting to try and find a replacement source of income, but I need this motivation right now. I need this public declaration to keep myself on track and focused.

So thanks, Brip Blap. This came at just the right time.

I can’t think of a huge list to tag and there’s no number requirement so I am just going to tag my M-Network buddy Lynnae at Being Frugal. I know she’ll have a great idea.
