Getting out of debt...

I don't know why life is so full of temptations!!  It makes it so hard to just get by....forget getting ahead!  

We pay our bills, but definitely not great at saving for a rainy day!  So we're on a track to get out of debt!!  Mission #1: pay off the car loans!!  We are 1/2 way there!!  WOOT!!  Friday, we paid off my husbands car!  Now, we are under 12 months on my car!  

Next mission....pay off the parents that made college for a single mom possible!  While I am eternally grateful that my parents basically helped me survive during college, I hate that I spent so much money during my 4 years!  I will pay back every last penny!!  Even if it kills me.  I really hope to be able to boost their monthly payment as soon as my car is paid off too!  Then, they will be paid much faster!!  

And my next goal!!  Actually have a down payment when I go to buy my next car!  Not just a trade in, but money....CASH....that I can hand them to lower my loan!!  

I sure wish that we could just be debt free, and do what we wanted, but I guess life isn't fair....so it won't ever happen!
