    You truly are an inspiration.

    Thank you for the encouraging post - you should be so proud that you were determined to pay it all off.

    My word...your words resonate so strongly with us! Almost as much of a debt mountain to climb, same expensive tastes and compulsions...and you've succeeded in achieving debt freedom! Huge congratulations! You're a total inspiration to us and have filled me with hope and optimism that one day we'll be in your position too. I too, absolutely love your metaphor of the teaspoon and the lake...that's exactly how we feel most of the time.


    Will e focussing very much on that teaspoon this month. Thanks so much for sharing Sentient!
