Don't you just love getting good news? I do. That's why I was so tickled to get the mail today. Inside was a receipt from where we paid off a bill earlier in the month. It's very validating to know that (so far) our plan to reduce our debt is working.
Staying motivated can be really tough. We sometimes feel so overwhelmed when the bills roll in that we don't celebrate the joys of getting anything paid. It's as is we approach it with the attitude of 'one down, tons more to go'.
I'm not sure that's productive. To change things up we're posting the paid bills on our refrigerator. Our very first one is the bill from this doctor. Sure, some people may feel like $158 isn't much. To us, it is a reason to be happy.
So, up on the fridge it goes. I can't wait to add more to it. How do you track your achievements? Let me know by posting a comment.
Happy bill paying!
