Why a Blog?
Once again, I am experiencing some technical difficulties. I am in the process of learning CSS and have been experimenting with making some design changes to my theme. Somehow, I managed to delete the right navigation from my home page (it’s still visible on the individual entry sites). I’m not exactly sure what I did to cause that - but I’m pretty certain that it has something to do with the fact that I’ve been screwing around with ad placement. It’s ok, though - I’m not all that fond of my current theme, so I plan on up-grading to a different look later this week.
I am not sure what possessed me to start a blog. As I previously mentioned, I know nothing about web design. Unlike most bloggers, I don’t particularly like to write. And to top it all off, my super-dry, sarcastic sense of humor doesn’t exactly translate well to this particular medium.
So, why bother?
Well, I’ve been giving that some thought and the thing I keep coming back to is that I need the personal accountability. All of my friends and family have found the site and know what a train wreck my finances are, so I owe it to them, and more importantly, I owe it to myself to follow through.
It’s kind of like trying to lose weight (something else I’ve failed at - repeatedly). Once you tell everyone that you’re on a diet, they have certain expectations of you. Hopefully, this blog will give me the accountability I need to eliminate debt from my life and set me on the path to financial freedom.
Stumble it!

Personal accountability is a powerful motivator. With the support of your network friends and family, you can acheive this. It takes time and I wish you well.

I agree with Laura - you can do it! What keeps me coming back to your blog, even though you’re a stranger, is that you’re at the beginning of your journey of straightening out your finances and I’m really pulling for you that you can stick with it
