Seriously, go check this article out on The Simple Dollar on Frugality's Perception Problem. I feel like it is all about the things I have been thinking about and writing about lately. Wow!

One woman's goal to fight foreclosure by getting nine hundred dollars more a month - without ending up in jail, dying of starvation or going insane.
Getting Nine Hundred Goal
March Goal
I need - $491
I have - $409
At the end of June 2008 I took over the house my ex and I bought while married. I needed to get nine hundred dollars a month over and above my 40 hour take home pay to fight going into foreclosure and avoid going under. After one year, I now can make it without the extra income, but I still have lots of financial goals ahead!

- I am a single woman who has found herself with a mortgage she can't pay. I am not a victim of the credit disaster like many Americans. Mine stems from a much older problem... divorce. When my ex and I split, the agreement was that he would take the "marital home." Unfortunately, he was unable to get a loan to get the home refinanced. When the dust settled, I ended up taking over the home to keep it out of foreclosure. This blog is about me finding a way to pay for it that doesn't involve illegal activities, starvation or working two forty hour jobs and going insane. My goal is to find ways through increasing my income, decreasing my expenses and using the assets I have to make each monthly payment. So how much more do I need each month? $900.00 So, let's see how I do, shall we? Coming up with $900 more a month can't be too hard, can it? ...gulp...
