Giving Up? Quit? Not An Option - Financial Peace Does Not Come Easily

It’s been a while since I have posted about our financial situation. There are two reasons why I have written much on this blog lately. One reason is because I have been really busy. Trying to fit blogging into the rest of my busy life has not been an easy task.

The other reason I have been blogging much on Time to Budget is because I don’t really like to take about my financial stresses. Things have not been easy for my husband and I. The rising gas prices was the start of it and since the prices rose we have not been able to get a good handle on our finances.

When things become difficult to handle thoughts of throwing in the towel often pop into my head. When I have these type of thoughts I always come back to reasoning - eventually. Why would we just quit and forget all the progress we have made over the last few years? Sometimes quitting seems easier than moving forward but it really isn’t.

Quitting is not an option. If we were to quit now then all of what we have learned over the past few years will have been a waste of energy. The knowledge we have gained through Financial Peace would be meaningless if we do not put them into action.

We have to remember that steps in the right direction will eventually help us reach our target. How ever small the steps may be they will still take us to our destination.

We are still on the road to Financial Peace…one small step forward at a time.

    A winner never quit, a quitter never win. Just keep going

    When I’m on a diet, I have to remember that the weight didn’t happen over night. Similarly, the debt doesn’t happen overnight, and will take a while to shed. Both take extreme behavior changes.
