Yes it really does, you kind of worry so much throughout the month about how you are managing, without the false security of having credit behind you, you manage though, and you become more confident in handling cash again, then before you know it another payment is due, i had a little left over this month from last and yeah, long may it continue,no horrid surprises though, please god.I'm heading back to the hospital later on for an ultrasound. I'm hot and uncomfortable, and i can feel the coils, which is supposed to be unheard of. Though the most important thing today is that my bills are paid and the money in my account has my name all over it.
