I have found it is really easy to get ahead of yourself when trying to pay down debt. This typically results in getting frustrated because you just want to cross something off and start focusing on the next thing. We focused on the two smaller credit cards so the first couple months of our new plan have seemed very rewarding and like we are getting somewhere. After we take out #6 in November we are going to start having a longer delay in gratification. This is when we (I) need to keep my eye on the prize. All of this debt repayment is pretty much automated so it is just a matter of waiting till the end of the month to tally the total. I hate the idea of wishing our lives away until we are out of debt but it is hard not to just want to fast forward. We know it is possible but the challenge is not how we are going to do it but do we (I) have the patience to endure the next 24 months or so. Patience is a virtue as they say.
My question to my non-existent readers is how do you keep your patience?
