This will be a really short post this week, a quick update really, but I promise to make up for it with lots of funny pictures. It's been just about a week since my debt really spiraled out of control, I reexamined my goals for the next few years and I got my truck back. I have been asking myself the tough questions lately, things like:

Easy answer: poor financial decisions. I'm changing that though, and in order to do so, I have had to push my other goals waaaayyyy back until I gain my financial freedom. A lofty goal to be sure, but I will reach it. Nothing and no one will stop me.

It's going to be tough but I know I am strong enough to do battle with the debt monster I created in order to eventually live the life I deserve. I realize it is going to take time, possibly years, to achieve this. It will not happen overnight, so I must truly learn the lesson of patience and fortitude. Every day I will have to be vigilant and guard against my own weaknesses.

I have sworn off multi-day trips until I meet my goal of slaying the debt beast, although I will still go on daily adventures like rafting, running, cycling and hiking.

Until next time avid readers have patience and if you're feeling overwhelmed, remember
