One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Sometimes, it feels like every bit of progress I make is eaten up by disaster. Start paying off my credit card, get hit by a $80 prescription. My dental insurance paid for one tooth but denied the other for some reason they will 'explain later.' A death in the family has eaten my savings for Christmas.

I am still so committed to paying off my debt, but it's been more difficult than I expected it to be. I'm depressed, of course. I miss my mother. Her death was not unexpected, but more sudden than any of us had figured.

I stare at my budget spreadsheet, trying to figure out how to make things go faster, but it's just not possible without having any savings at all, or until my husband can help with the bills. It's frustrating.
