During our debt reduction journey, there were times where I became so focused on reducing our debt it started to consume me. When I wasn’t working, I was on the computer trying to make more money or trying to find ways to save more money. Then there were the times that I went around the house room to room looking for stuff to sell. My husband knows something is up when that happens. Maybe we had a little set-back or maybe I was just getting sick of the debt.
It’s hard because you can’t let money take over your life. There should be a balance. I haven’t always been the best at finding that balance. Sometimes life has a way of making you say, “Whoa, wait a minute.” Then things get put back into perspective, at least for a while.
I had a moment like that not too long ago after a friend lost a family member. At the funeral, there were no words said about money. The only words said were about a great person that is no longer with us. The memories weren’t about getting money or spending money. They were about the time spent with that person.
That said, I am taking a complete day off tomorrow. There will be no working on the computer at all. No business work and unfortunately, no blogging on here. I am going to spend the day spending some quality time with my family. I need a mini-break from, well…thinking about money 🙂
