8-8-08 A New Anniversary of Sorts

August 9th, 2008 at 03:44 pm

Well, I have been lurking among your personal finance blogs for a while and have really enjoyed seeing the sense of community and encouragement shared. I am like some others here; I am in debt, but desparately wanting to get out and build my financial resources. I hope this blog will help keep me on track as I share our financial details with others. I have been too embarrassed to share these with anyone other than my husband.

My husband and I feel like yesterday, 8-8-08, is the "new beginning" to our personal financial story. We are both finally on the same page, we have the same goals and agree on what we need to do to get there. We are both committed and 8-8-08 will go down in our personal financial history as a day of great importance.

I'll be posting more information soon as we get down to the nitty gritty.

Thanks for everyone who's shared their stories. I have enjoyed reading your blogs and have now found the courage to share mine!

    I saw the clock reading 8:08 this morning and wished I had seen it yesterday, 8-08-08. But I'll dedicate my sighting of the eights to your efforts to get out of debt, okay? Did you know that in some numerology systems 8 signifies money? So 8-08-08 must be a money day.

    I had no idea about the numerology system and 8s; that's so neat! Thanks for your sighting dedication; I appreciate it! Smile
