The same thing happens to me all the time - I'm sure it happens to us all. It is really frustrating when you're on the debt reduction mission though. I live for the milestones now. Its all about paying the next card off or reaching the next magic number. When that process gets interrupted b/c of something unexpected it drives me insane. At least it does at first... Then I start thinking about how much better off I am now then I was just six months ago. What is a minor setback today was a major crises not too long ago. That's what the whole reduction / debt-free living is all about. The curve balls will continue to come - at least now I have a chance at hitting some of them back.
