y’all just don’t know

I’m doing better than I was.  I should finally be out of credit card debt, AGAIN, by the end of this month.  I’ve done the math.  It was hard – there’s my account, there’s the Anthill account, there’s the W4 filing, saving for the wedding – all of that has to be coordinated.  It took a long time just to figure February out.  I’m trying to automate as much as possible.  Easier said than done.  Since there’s a first time for everything and you can only pay bills based on what’s in your account at particular times, there was a lot of “calendaring” the money coming in and the money that needed to come out.  February is pretty much good to go.  I’m hoping that, between Mister Ant and I, we’ll be able to put this thing on autopilot by the time the snow finally melts…

That should give me some time.

    I know how easy it is to get frustrated but you can do it. Good luck!

    Good question – I’ve been thinking about whether or not I want to shut the blog down. Lord knows the discipline of updating the site helped me with the discipline of tracking my money progress. My new job does not allow me a lot of downtime, both at work and at home. I’m planning a wedding, doing both my finances and the household finances, and updating the blog has just faded into the nether regions of my priority list. I still haven’t made up my mind about the future of the site – part of me refuses to give up hope that I’ll be able to find the time to come back…
