I know this had been a really rough day for you, so I thought I’d try to cheer you up by telling you how much your blog has helped me. I check it everyday. I got into pfblogs by reading a couple of blogs whose owners have a pretty high net worth and good advice on investments and such. I just got out of grad school and started my first job in my late twenties and have a very negative net worth. Those other blogs were nice but dejecting. Then I found you. I read your blog mostly because I need it for sanity. I still visit the high net worth blogs for the investment advice, but I visit yours to know that someone else is struggling, yet still making progress. I know that the car is a real problem for you, but I can’t wait to see you figure out how to deal with it. I know you will. Yes, it’s terribly frustrating to have a set back when you were so close to your goal - but setbacks happen. And its because of these setbacks that reaching your goal will be so meaningful. The setbacks are also why I read your blog. I’ve been doing ok in the pf department, but I’ve had some setbacks, and so have you. Reading about your challenges is really rewarding for your readers. Thanks for writing.

On another note, snowflaking really is revolutionary. After spending several months reading pf blogs, it’s the first concept I’ve found that really is innovative and useful for folks like me. Thanks again.
