Resisted temptaion and found a solution

Yesterday, I was faced with a few bills and no money. I logged onto a couple of Payday loan sites but stopped at the final page and clicked off before I accepted or signed anything. A few months ago I wouldn't have stopped and come January, when I would not be paid again until the 31st, I would be facing a barrage of phone calls and letters/demands. Instead, I have found another solution to pay the current things for the next month. And instead of feeling anxious and scared, I feel good!
It may not seem like much to some, but to me, this is a huge personal victory against my spending habits
