Buck up, people. Yes, you are living below what you think should be your means as you repay your debt. That is the responsible thing to do. It’s hard, but it isn’t anyone else’s debt to repay.

I understand what it’s like to cut way back on your lifestyle. I quit my job when my oldest was born. There were times our bank account was scary-low. We scrimped more than I knew we could. It was not easy. But we made a choice. Just as you made a choice when you borrowed. Our choices come with consequences, and the consequence of borrowing is having to repay the debt.

By the way, I want to commend those who worked hard to repay their debt. They should be very proud of themselves.
