Christmas follow up

As much as it pains me to know that my thieving credit card companies will be getting another month's interest out of me, I have of course decided to re-purpose my debt attack amount to Christmas.

I had to convince my wife that we are making outstanding progress and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but this past year has been pretty tight around here and we haven't done a whole lot. After it was all said and done, a little Christmas spirit was just the thing we needed!

I will say this. We are all getting the travel bug and I think a nice trip, paid for with a "trip budget" and not with a credit card, will be a fantastic reward. Unfortunately, we will not be in a financial position by this summer to go to the World Cup in South Africa, but my goal is to be in that position by the next Cup in 2014!
