Things are crazy. I have more medical bills than I thought I would have – payment plans out the wazoo. Mister Ant and I had a cash flow problem that has since been fixed. We bought some electronics. We took a weekend trip. Home improvements in the works. We have finally started to use our central air. I did a little shopping.
Part of the reason I haven’t done my net worth update for July, three weeks into August, is that I know I don’t want to see the number. I know that isn’t right, but it’s where my head is now. I was just so happy to see that I’d finally recovered from getting the house. I don’t want to see what the medical bills have done to my progress. I don’t want to hold myself accountable for missing July’s contributions to my IRA and savings. I don’t want to deal with the fact that I aimed to pay off my car and one of my student loans and yet I haven’t paid any more than the minimum required payment on either of them.
I’m eating, my bills are paid, and I can buy things I want from time to time. My credit isn’t destroyed. I know my checking account balance. For now, that’s all I can handle.

Am I supposed to interject here? Okay, “ahem, Sistah, if we don’t take care of our finances who will? You’ve come so far , don’t rest now you are almost to the top of that hill. Just power through the calculations, reasses the debt repayment and then cruise on down when it’s PIF. Keep on pedaling!”
