I’ve Paid For This Twice Already…

Frugal living and debt reduction tips for a better financial future. This is one family’s story.

Christmas, Christmas, Time Is Here

Here’s to a very merry holiday season to you and yours. Hopefully as you are reading this , weather cooperating, we are traveling from my in-laws home where we celebrate on Christmas Eve, to my parents home, where the grandkids are sure to be totally spoiled with gifts galore. And I truly hope we have our own car back, warts and all, instead of my mom’s car that we borrowed.  Ah, if all the presents for the kids will fit in the trunk for the trip back to the midwest I will be happy.

The temptation to go into even more debt to get rid of this blasted car stays strong in me.  I am trying to resist.  I am.  But I digress.

Thank you for being a part of my debt elimination journey and reading (and commenting) on I’ve Paid For This Twice Already. Maybe while I am off visiting family my not-so-secret goal of 3000 RSS subscribers in 2008 will be met. :) Each and every one of you, by visiting, reading, and commenting, provides me with motivation to stay the course and get our family on the right track. And I appreciate all of you.

I hope that 2009 is a year for all of us to make strides in improving each and every one of our financial lives and securing an even brighter future. Thank you all for taking this journey with me.

    Oh that darned car! Assuming you don’t make that drive often. have you ever considered renting a car for that drive until you’re got a more reliable car?

    I know this sounds really weird, but for months I’ve had this feeling that your parents or in-laws would give or sell you one of their cars around Christmas. How weird is that?!

  5. Thank you for sharing so openly and honestly. Although we have been living fairly carefully, we are going to be going to be tightening our belts and going on a financial “diet” in order to meet some new goals coming up. We have a mortgage we’d like to pay off, home repairs needed, one son in college and another due in a few years (due in college, I’m not pregnant, lol!), plus we’d like more money in savings. We will be happy to join you on your journey!
