Spending on wants insted of need and the guilt............

[ohiogal]

you have been working hard and saving and doing all the right things. I can't tell you how wonderful it was for my husband and me to take a short trip to Gettysburg for 3 days. We thought we would never again get to take a vacation, or have fun of any kind with all the stress and financial woes that we had before bankruptcy.
We paid cash for everything and even though it was a short break, renewed our marriage and gave us hope for the future. go and enjoy the cruise!

Gettysburg is AWESOME. I've been there many times. I'd move there if I could find a job in graphic design there!

You mean you'd forget otherwise roflmao?

It's been some gorgeous weather here and I am loving it at the moment... there are some good things about living here... and overall winter wasn't bad this year.

As my bff always reminds me, gotta look at the half-full cup.... and Keep Smiling of course .

I like having the states showing because it helps answer peoples' q's without having to look up their profile.

Pam, we took a hard earned well deserved vacation at the end of March (Spring break) and took our son to the theme parks in Florida and a few days at St. Augustine beach, great time. Granted we can drive from North Carolina so no cost for air fare but we saved for it all and paid cash. Felt great, we had a wonderful trip and just relaxed and forgot about life for 7 days. We have not vacationed in 4 years aside from an overnite or daytrip to a local NC beach on the coast (which we are very grateful to have done as well).

Go and enjoy, the stress just rolls off and the sun feels warm straight down to the bone. You will love the cruise (if your 1st time) and we hope to get back on a cruise within a year. Its ok and you will get great benefit from a vacation at this point. You have worked hard to get here, just remember that. Have a blast!

Pam,

I haven't been on here for awhile, but I am so happy for you! I have been dreaming of a vacation! After BK and finishing school this week, that has really been my fantasy!

Go and have a great time!

Thank you for your thoughts. It's been awhile since we cruised and really can't wait to go back and just relax Pam

Hope everything checks out for your Hubby. Sometimes physical things happen for no particular reason - I have gone blind in one eye and deaf in one ear (not at the same time, lol) and things returned to normal within a day or two.
