I really think I'm catching the vision about not spending and instead saving & paying off debt. I actually chose not to get fast-food type of things a few times this week and instead save the money. I cancelled some unneeded $14.95 monthly charge and felt GREAT -- like I'm actually making an extra $14.95 every month now!
I was going to use the $300 I made on eBay to buy a piano keyboard that I've always wanted to learn, but instead I am realizing that the purpose of extra money now is to pay off debt. Then later I can buy a few things for myself.
I know there will be many more decision ahead, but it is encouraging to see real progress in my financial decisions.
Catching the Vision -- stop spending money

Self discipline helps the process go so much smoother.

One thing about saving money....it's a good idea to reward yourself too. If you want to learn to play a keyboard, look into the Sharper Image catalog and find their portable keyboard for $50-$60. Look for the one that has gotten great reviews on the sound quality or go into the store if you can to try it out. If you really want to be decadent find some online codes for a discount!
