Don’t beat yourself up – this is not usually helpful in such situations. Your debt is going to go and you need to live – this is what life is for. However, you are right about income – it is important that this goes up and I wish you all the luck and good fortune with it.

Be positive! Your month may have been less good than some others, but you’re still in there. Be proud of your accomplishments and the frugal way you attended your friends wedding. Money well spent. Just don’t do that in May!

You’re doing a great job…don’t let one month derail everything. We all have minor setbacks. You have come to a great realization though: you can only cut your expenses back by so much. After that, the only option is to increase income. I’m all for living a frugal life, but I think some put too much emphasis on cutting back here and saving $1 there. Instead, they should live happily within their means and then spend their time and energy finding ways to increase their income. In the long run, it will have a much bigger impact.

@Elizabeth: It’s crazy how I was so sure by this time I’d have it all figured out financially. But it’s a lifelong journey and we occasionally have some stops at friend’s weddings
