To little, To little

I was just having an interesting conversation with a friend of mine. At the age I am at now i should not be here - but i am and to be honest so is she. We both work hard and both are in the same boat.

But oddly enough, we are planning a trip for this upcoming september. Now, usually i would say, Hey i have a credit card that has that amount on it. And even though i do now to pay for the trip, i am choosing the better option. I am choosing to save for it. Granted that means for the next five months, i have to do nothing... I have to scrimp and save as much as i can.

So the question I brought up to myself was this... Even though i am in my debt and i am determine to get out of it, when is enough enough? If i am determine to get out of this, i need to hunker down, but at what cost? The cost of my sanity?

I can't give up everything I say to myself - but i can give up somethings for other things that i want. Where before i would just rack up the credit.... So i feel this is a new step and a good step in the right direction...
