I'm only on Day 22 of my Tangle with a Trespasser and already I've made a few mistakes, potentially cost myself an unnecessary $260, and wasted time that could be used in furthering my goal. Just like your journey out of debt, everything won't go a smoothly as promised. But we have to resolve to press through. It's not easy. Dumping debt can be frustrated and filled with do-overs. Don't quit. In the meantime, here's the latest on this saga of my house being held hostage by a squatter. 00:04:00Debt Free Divasnodebt freedom,financial freedomDebt freedom is not easy.

I have work to do because Phyllis isn't going away on her own. You have work to do because debt will not magically disappear. Working through debt is not easy, but it sure it worth the effort. I'm assuming once I get the squatter out, I'll be just as elated.    On your journey out of debt, you will receive so much advice. Much of it will be well-intentioned, but just not helpful. Surround yourself with people who have either been where you are and accomplished their goals or are where you want to be. Like Uncle Dave says, don't take advice on money from broke people - unless that's your goal. It's funny, this tangle with the trespasser illustrates that advice perfectly. Even though that's not her intention and she still needs to go! While I'm here, let's see what we can learn from ol' Phyllis. 00:07:00Debt Free DivasnoLike Phyllis, debt won't go away on it's own.f6c701c2-bab4-4b20-af2a-209d6bf9839b816fullReaching Your Goals - My Tangle with a Trespasserhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/debtfreedivas/2018/06/25/reaching-your-goals--my-tangle-with-a-trespasserFinancehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/debtfreedivas/2018/06/25/reaching-your-goals--my-tangle-with-a-trespasser/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/debtfreedivas/2018/06/25/reaching-your-goals--my-tangle-with-a-trespasserMon, 25 Jun 2018 22:10:25 GMTReaching Your Goals - My Tangle with a TrespasserI purchased a house through a foreclosure auction.

In this episode, we lay out both of our positions on why leasing is a bad (my take) idea or why it works (his thoughts) for some. As I listen to both of our sides, I think....I should have said this....or I should have said that. Either way, there is still much left to discuss. This is a good introduction. However, I like this exercise because we have many personal finance areas of contention. They can be heated, but they don't have to be. Maybe all of our topics of intense fellowship should be recorded for the masses to partake in. We might just always be on our best behavior. I hope this helps you think through a few topics if you are considering whether to lease, fix your current car, or buy a new (or new to you) car in the near future.
