Contemplating Change
Change is a funny thing. Although most people say they want to change — so they can have a better life, with more love, more dreams, and more fun — the fact is that many of us are afraid of change. Faced with the real prospect of it, we look at our lives and decide that being where we are right now isn’t so bad, after all. Better the devil you know than the one you don’t, we tell ourselves. … It’s a place where your life isn’t really that great, but it really isn’t that bad, either. It’s just so-so.
Well, I happen to think that life should be better than “not that bad” and more than “just so-so.” Life should be exciting, challenging, and — ultimately — fulfilling.

My priority today is to closely examine my life, my spending habits, and my goals. I have set a deadline...a debt deadline. October 1st, 2007 1brokedisgruntledsista will be debt free! Period pointblank! I will post my budgeting progress later on. It's going ok. Change is hard but neccessary, as long as I remember that I will meet my goal.
Oh yeah...Saturday was my Birthday! I turned 26 for the 9th time! How's that for numbers!
This is my journey... Realizing that I AM a Shop-A-Holic and I'm changing my wicked ways. I'm educating myself on finances all while digging my way out of DEBT. Teaching (MY) Momma Broke Disgruntled Sista, that not handling your credit and money properly CAN HURT YOU and HAUNT YOU no one taught her so she couldn't teach us. Also teaching my Broke and Disgruntled Children ALL about finances so they won't make the same mistakes!

Sorry I've MIA this week, so I'm late. Happy belated birthday!! IMO, one day is just not long enough to celebrate, but I hope you had a great time.
LOL @ 26 9x
