This year, I am on a mission to pay off a big chunk of our debt. We are on pace to get it paid off, but just barely. It’s such a hard fought battle, that we are using several different strategies to make sure that we win.
If 2016 is going to be our #yearofno, we want to make sure it is worth it!

The strategy I’m talking about in today’s post is ways to tap into your emotions to get intense about debt elimination. Let me show you how to use your emotions to help fuel yourself in the road to debt free living. Read How We Stay Motivated to Pay Off Debt.
Are emotions an important part of your money strategy?
To be honest, I try to stay as unemotional as possible about money. Rational works best for me. (emotion is what gets me in trouble.) But reading your article, you are channeling rationality as well as emotion.
Money can be so emotional! In good and bad ways! I think this is one of the biggest issues in our marriage – I’m really mad at and have strong emotions towards our debt, but my husband doesn’t! I feel like if he got mad, we’d crush it! Off to read your post …. 🙂
I’ve saved this one to read later, while the littles are asleep and I can focus. I have to get this monkey off my back, our back. It’s hard. #FridayFrivolity
It’s so hard! Especially to keep your momentum going when it takes such a long time to get out of debt. You can do it! 🙂
Ooh, off to read. Thanks so much for linking up with #FridayFrivolity 🙂
