From Cath's Desk
Hello Cheapskaters,
And welcome to another edition of The Cheapskates Journal.
I'll be honest with you and say that I wasn't sure I would be able to get this month's Journal ready and uploaded in time. It seems as though it was meant to be a struggle for me this month.
I've been sick (again!). Then we had to go away (twice). We've had internet problems. The demands on my time have increased substantially over the last few weeks and then this afternoon as I was proofing and getting ready to upload the power went out!
But here it is, and on time. I feel quite chuffed because I honestly thought that it would be mid-morning tomorrow before I'd be able to start uploading and you'd be emailing to find out where your September Journal was.
It's a bit like saving isn't it? Sometimes, no matter how well you plan and how conscientious you are, it feels like you're never going to be able to save. And then one day you realise that you are saving. You've persevered, struggled through the unexpected bills and expenses and somehow that bank account is growing or that mortgage is shrinking or that debt has been paid.
I guess the moral of the story is to just keep plugging along and not give up. Little by little, dollar by dollar, if you keep plugging away you'll reach your financial goals and be living debt free, cashed up and laughing.
Have a great month everyone.
