Working away our debt.....

 I've spoken about our debt here on the blog a few times.  It is all "good debt."  But it is still a nightmare. I don't recommend it to anyone.  Anyhow....

As you can see I struggle with feeling like my debt is a hopeless endless struggle.  So, we made this hot air balloon which we have hung in our bedroom.  I see it every day and ever section of the air balloon counts for 1000$ of debt.  The plan is to color those spaces in whenever we make a payment on our loans.

 I am proud to say that just the other day we took out the water colors and colored some of those spots in. Meaning we are making progress.


Two and a half spots are filled!  Yoo Hoo!!!  That is hard work and it is paying off!!!

What do you do to encourage your self with spending and paying back debt?
