They accept any and all coupons. That is cool!! You could use a gift card for a splurge for free. Money is not everything. People are more important. Debt is a constant thing. Money can never buy true happines. We all just need to do our best. I try so hard to get out of debt but, it always finds me. Take care.

Extremes in any direction can rob your life of its joy. You say it best when you write, “The trick is finding balance.”

I used to be a highly, highly concerned girl in the financial region and thought about taking on part-time jobs to make what I deemed was "enough" (and what exactly is "enough" anyway??) I've settled down now (largely due to the fact that I have literally no time to think about or spend money anymore!) but I appreciate the point you make about the trade off - yes, you could get another job or find another source of income, but then there would be the valuable time lost with Mr. M that you could never buy back. And I personally remember snuggles much more readily than the stress of bills. :-)<br/><br/>Question for you though - you talk a lot about your debt and my question for you is what type of debt is this? Are they all just student loans? Low interest? High interest? (you may have explained this on a post I missed - I've tried to keep up) With our loans (which are currently just Nathan's from MC) we realized that paying them back faster than the loan companies required them really wasn't going to save us that much money in interest in the end since the interest rates are both fixed and quite low. Is this a possibility for you? <br/><br/>I've also heard about all sorts of service possibilities (Peace Corps, Teach for America, etc.) which I believe forgive at least some debts. I know even some public high schools do that - I wonder if public universities might do something similar. Could that be a viable option? Nathan and I considered those things back in the day.<br/><br/>Alright, I've rambled on for far too long and given way more than the two cents I meant to offer. :-) I hope all is well with the Micahs. Much love,<br/>Sarah Good points, Mrs. M.
