I’m so delighted to hear that things are on the up and up , Maverick. Having a payment plan gives us a certain security and also keeps us accountable. I would recommend organising a Savings Plan to run concurrently with debt repayments. Even a very small sum put aside every week, to allow us to see our efforts being rewarded and make us determined not to let our hard earned cash pass into the wrong hands.
It doesn’t take long for us to get into the swing of things once we start Maverick. That goes for good or for evil. Today, I was parting company with my son, having voiced my opinion (AGAIN) about some areas in his life that he needs to look at and in a moment of frustration, I could have easily swung into the car park beside where I dropped him off. Everything seemed to go into a blur for just one moment and a flash of slot machine-escape seemed attractive . A kind driver fortunately beckoned me out on to the main road and I took off with the green arrow which put a fair distance between me and the casino. Things can change in a flash as you well know.
Sorry to hear your close friend has Stage 4 CA. God help him and his family.
We should be counting our blessings as well as our cash, Maverick. No pockets in a shroud!
