How do you all cope???

Every minute of every day, i am constantly doodling figures on scraps of paper, of how much i owe, how much i pay, how long it will take for the debt to go, how i can get rid of it quicker, what schemes and plans i can come up with to shift it all around.

am i insane or does everyone do this?

All the time, tis invading my work day now so have to try to stop being quite so obsessive before I get fired which wouldn't help at all.

Go outside and feel the sun and smell the flowers.

Debt is not your life. You are your life.

Me too I dont get any different figures by doing the same sums and workings out. Still the same answers , oh well only another 4 yrs of scraps of paper and sleepless nights!!!

Me too,
I'm totally obsessed with interest rates and what I can cut back on where to pay off a bill. I have my little black book where I write it all down and I'm constantly making little calculations here there and everywhere to make the books balance.
You're not alone !!

i do have days like that, although i figure if i am doing as much as i can, what more can i do?

i also dream/have nightmares about it almost every night too!

Yes I do this all the time, especially lying in bed when I can't sleep. I also visualise in my minds eye the day those statements come through with a £o.oo balance. Now - how beautiful would that look..... :T

When I was planning for my early retirement 10 yrs ago, I started a budget detailing all my necessary expenditure that I will still have to pay when I retire and now that I am retred I still look at the budget on a weekly basis.

You, Sir, have been a very clever person - I, on the other hand, have not.

It is too late to say that I envy you - however, I will say that I respect you. :beer:
