So true!
@Jackie, I only speak the truth
Ok, maybe not all the time, but most of the time. I know this was a little wordy.
You’re a man of few words, Jeff, but they’re all the right ones! There’s no big secret about paying off debt. You sacrifice to make it happen, whether it be sacrificing time with your family to take on a second job and make more money or sacrificing the luxuries in life so you can put more income to debt. It’s a simple formula.
@Red yes I am a man of few words (here, today). Too bad the guys that work for me at GM don’t see the quiet Jeff, haha.
You are so right, there is no secret. It’s kinda like weigh loss, we all know how to loose weight but only those willing to work at it (read – sacrifice time and energy) will loose weight. I just read a comment somewhere, I think it was Ramit’s post yesterday, where someone said they don’t want to hear another thing about sacrificing to get ahead with money. I guess another word that could be used is Choice. You have the choice to give up time and work more to make extra money. You have the choice to not eat out every night. I guess if sacrifice is too harsh of a word for someone, choice can be used instead, but that word just doesn’t illistrate the work involved. Sorry about rambling on, I guess I should have made the post more than one word
Ha! I suppose you were relating to that particularly well when you wrote that, eh?
Keep up the great work! It Will be worth it!
@Jolyn – I have a little background on the topic
’nuff said.
(good one)
@Funk – WORD
Thanks for highlighting my non-post post.
And yes, I agree completely.
Oops…didn’t realize that was RSS-only.
Well, thanks anyway! LOL
@Wojo Anytime my friend. That’s the Yakezie widget at work.
Word!
@FS I see your “Word!” and raise you a “Dude!” check out this site for more great words from the 90′s

Aiight!!! (that’s a funny website)
Hey Funk, I thought some people would like that site. I think I’m going to bring back Cheddar. For those who need a refresher – Cheddar is slang for “Money”
Can you break that down for me? I don’t think I follow your meaning (lol)…
Don’t forget to reward yourself once you pass certain financial milestone number (or at least that’s what we did)…
You’re doing great!
@Money Reason I thought I put it in the most simple form. How about WORK? That’s a we letters shorter.
I hear ya on the reward part. I planning on taking my lady out to Taco Bell for dinner once we are done with the debt.
Thanks for the continued support my friend.
“Sacrifice” with a plan! Understanding where you want to be and having a plan on how you are going to get there will give you the motivation when things get tough.
@Greg having a plan is key to paying down debt. I’ve learned first hand that without a solid plan, it’s almost impossible to get any traction.
I’m loving these short little posts (as I’m sure you are loving making them!).
So true! I do it literally everyday! It’s so worth it!
@MyFinancialObjective I’m going for the streamline effect. No sense in writting 1000 to 1500 words when just one will work
The best way to pay off all debts is my regular income and so work harder and make your debts look small and easily payable.
Ok – I was not expecting that. I kept looking for the REAL article. Never seen a one word post before – must try it sometime for myself.
Hi Carol, sometime one word is all you need to get your point across. I’ll be watching for one word post from you. It is really weird to hit the publish button after writing a post like this
In all seriousness, I think this post was as effective as many of the longer ones! It strips away all of the other “nonsense” and tells the truth!
Oh, and PLEASE don’t bring back cheddar!
@Khaleff it’s all about the cheddar!! Ok, that was the last time
It’s funny how a word or two can sum it up.
