I just wanted to say thanks to every one on this site, who not only read my blogs but encourage me as well. I have come a long way and still have a way to go but blogging has really help me open my eyes. Now you all know that I got a bonus today and the old me would have thought about all the things I could buy but instead my focus was on upping my challenge.
I feel as though we are one big family here and I am comfortable with blogging and sharing things that I am afraid to share with family members or friends. I don't know but we all share something here and it is wonderful.
I am aware that $4000 to some is not a lot but to me I feel like a millionare, lol... I have never just saved $4000 not even $200 for that matter. lol but any how I am happy
Last year, I wrote about my attempted suicide and my battle with depression, I can honetly say sincee I have joined this site I am the happiest I have every been in a long time (even though I am single)
Just felt like I needed to share this with you and again I just want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!
oops I forgot I added $7 more dollars to my challenge
New total $4007.00
PS for anyone who is going through anything, I know how you feel; just hang in there the best is yet to come
Thanks to everyone

$4,000 is a HUGE amount of money and you should be very proud of yourself! We're all proud of you here. I agree, this is like a family, and the support we get from each other is amazing. Keep going Sunshine, because you are totally kicking arse! Hugs! Koppur

My recovery from my Gambling Addiction has been made easier and more exciting since I started using blogging to deal with daily challenges, set backs and achievements.
You are right when you say we have a "big family" here - it amazes me how I think about the various blogs and how each and everyone of us has a special story to tell. I also share things in my blog that I would NEVER share with my friends or family.
You take care and give thanks for all your Blessings - especially the one of life.
Well done

I am a stay at home mom who has a very limited amount of money each month to work with, but coming here has really helped me change the way I view money. LOL, I have turned into(gasp)a saver and frankly I'm proud of it. This month will put me over the $100 mark of saving. Coming here every day is my main social outlet.
