@ Patrick – Thanks. Fixed. I knew that didn’t look right. Spelling has never been my forte, probably never will be!

DebtKid, my man.

Can you see where your finances will be a year from now? I am extremely curious. How about posting a spreadsheet with the status of your loans today, where they were a year ago, and where you think they will be a year from now?

Cheers,

Alan

Sometimes I hold my “breath”, but definitely not my “breathe”…

I know, I know, I have a spelling compulsion.

I tend to feel that way too- like something isn’t right because everything is working out. It is good you have a plan, even if it is a loose one. In fact, being flexible and open to change will put you in a much better position than if you were stuck on doing it one way and one way only.

Looking into the future is good, envisioning what you want your life to look and feel like is very important. Along with the envisioning, it is important to “visualize” money. What $100,000 looks like, what $250,000, what $1 million looks like. If you can not grasp just that thought, and believe you will attain that amount, whatever amount that is, then you simply may not as you do not believe you will have that much. So along with your loose plan, I would suggest visualizing as well.

Keep at it!
