From hiring a company to do a site-map, to paying to be on an online shopping store. Wrote articles there. On facebook,twitter,myspace. Spent money on an online e-mail announcement where a company sends a safe e-mail to a ton of people. I signed up as an affiliate for 6 to 7 companys including I-tunes and was dropped because of no sales. Plus that wasn't the only one who ended on me. I started selling avon last October and between trying that and everything else, I'm just not getting very far with any of it. I've tried ppc with google and yahoo and cannot get any where with that either. I've racked my brain so bad that I'm completely burnt out. This was an attempt to move on with my life after having to make a big time decision to move my husbands daughter out of our house into a home where she can be cared for around the clock, because she has angelman syndrome. Everything has been so overwelming there emotionally on the family. Looks like I'll end up throwing in the towel because it is just getting to be too expensive. Thanks for hearing me whine!

I'm spending on 2 websites that aren't doing squat, or should I continue plugging away? My heart says not to stop - but my mind says to. Should I throw in the towel now and use the money elsewhere.

I agree about taking responsibility, facing your debt, and taking actions each and every day. The key is to start small, read some of the top finance blogs, and personal development blogs, and believe and act as though you are going to not just survive, but thrive. This was a great post.

Accept and own up to our debts, and cut expenses in order to pay things off. Budget. Spend less than we earn (for a change). Keep up the good work. Good and sensible words.
