Yeah- the author is all 'doo doo doo, it'll go away eventually,' and I can't buy that. For me this minimum thing can only be a temp. fix until I re-wire my brain to have an altered sense of priorities. I entirely see how having some specific savings for the identifiable expenses makes sense (car repair, hospital/dds bills- ad nauseum). IF I have those set up and I'm not using my credit cards to fix things, then my debt won't grow as it has. That's a win. I, too, want some very specific methods for dealing with the logistics of all this. I took a break from reading the book so I can digest and control my obsessive thinking a bit. It's worked, as I was able to focus on other stuff throughout today. If the author has more specific tips on logistics, I'll let you know, but I expect I will need to find a secondary source - like my UBS financial advisor- to also brainstorm.
