Comments on: What Are You Lying To Yourself About? http://genuinechris.com/what-are-you-lying-to-yourself-about/ Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:56:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mary http://genuinechris.com/what-are-you-lying-to-yourself-about/#comment-1947 Mary Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:20:15 +0000 http://genuinechris.com/?p=1142#comment-1947 Thanks for your honesty. This was so interesting for me to read because I was just thinking today that I'm incredibly lucky and happy at this stage in life (a whole lot older than you!). Funny thing is I have very little money. I've never earned 6 figures -- one year of that and I'd be able to cover my current wish list! But I've learned to enjoy the really little things in life and my work is my passion. My husband and I just once got ourselves into debt that was too much for us. We vowed after that to not buy anything we didn't have the money for and when you do that, things feel so much more solid and secure. Maybe our business has stayed small because we've never taken big loans, but it keeps life simple! Thanks for your honesty.

We ended up recovering doing much of what you are doing,- redoing the way we did business. When we recovered, and the recession was over, we ended up making a lot of money for several years. We never looked back. Stay the course and you too will look back on this time in your life with thankfulness. During he recession of the early 1990s we had a similar debt load.

Anyway, the debt was wrong, now it's $85,129. I want it gone in 18 months, no matter what. First is 100 days to $4200. Then plow the money formerly spent into other things. But anyway, I'm making it all public. You'll see some goodness in my sidebar shortly. Chris Mark-

Thanks for noticing, man. Anyway, the debt was wrong, now it’s $85,129. I want it gone in 18 months, no matter what. First is 100 days to $4200. Then plow the money formerly spent into other things.

But anyway, I’m making it all public. You’ll see some goodness in my sidebar shortly.

I took personal measures to lower my financial footprint last year and it's making a huge difference in my overall happiness level.
