Good news?

A tumultuous weekend has passed, as has a week of doldrums.  Today is starting to look a little better.  This weekend should be more low key and that's probably a good thing.

Good things to think about.

Getting back to the gym, and maybe freeing up some time in the mornings to go.
The really pleasant weather this week.
Paying off half of my second credit card today.  The rest of it should get buried two weeks from now. 

Not bad at all.

I think I need to know your getting-out-of-debt strategies, because you seem to be doing very well in that regard, and I most emphatically am not.

I budget myself X amount every two weeks for food, clubbing, and the like out of each pay check. One paycheck goes towards bills, the other towards rent. Any money that's left out of my "allowance" and bills/rent gets slapped on the credit cards.

It's taken.. a year and a half? I don't make any major purchases really. I travel to Florida once a year in the past two years.

Lots of perseverence and whittling away. I will have a big party when I'm through this! October, hopefully :)
