I am a big time, get out your spreadsheet and forecast kind of planner. I like to have projections for all of our remaining debts and when I expect them to be paid off.
So when things don't go according to plan it can get frustrating for me. I really have to try hard not to let things like that get me down. For instance, our debt snowball turned out to be less than I had planned for this month and I immediately started to feel discouraged. Then I remembered that this is a marathon not a sprint and we are still on the right track. No amount of worrying is going to change that.
Along those lines, I'm on the lookout for anything I can do to make extra money right now so if you have suggestions please let me know. I have been doing Cash Crate this month (see the big green button to the right) and so far I've made the equivalent of one, maybe two hewlett packard toner cartridges and that's about it, but every little bit helps. I'll add that to my basement fund and we'll keep rolling!
