@ Corbie, I tried rewarding myself but I found myself buying things and forgoing the reward. So reward as incentive didn't work for me but just sheer enthusiasm and rush for seeing the credit card balance did.

Hang in there! It's worth it. I've been paying down my cards and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel -- even though they're not completely paid off, the emotional weight feels like it's lifting.

Something you might do is budget a very small amount of money or time for a weekly "treat" that is your reward for continuing to pay down the debt. Basic conditioning -- we need rewards as incentives, so we keep on task and don't lose interest in our goals. If you feel deprived all the time, you'll get discouraged and give up.

Your reward should be something you enjoy, so it could either be a small treat like a chocolate bar or fancy coffee drink, or it could be something free like going to a favorite park and having a nice walk. But it should be something rewarding and fun, to make it a worthwhile reward that will help you feel better about staying on the path.

Good luck!

Maybe I can help a little. I came across your site and am interested in doing some advertising on it. That would be some extra cash in your pocket.

Shoot me an email at briancox@mypaydayloancash.com what you get a chance. I'd love to discuss some options.

Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
