Friday Feed Frenzy – The Debtor’s Mind

Well, it’s been a little while since I had a roundup so I thought I would get back in the mix. It’s tough for me to read as many blogs as I used to. I can’t read blogs at work like many other bloggers can. Frankly, it stinks. I feel so much more disconnected than I used to be. I hardly Tweet and I very rarely comment on other blogs. Hopefully, I can find a new routine that will allow me to do more of that. We’ll see!

In other news, I will be starting a series on the blog called “The Debtor’s Mind”. The series is going to be about the things that we as debtors tell ourselves to make us feel better. So, if you try to rationalize why you are in debt on a daily basis, I want to hear what your thoughts are. Send me an email with some topics and I will give you credit if you so desire. I already have a few thoughts but I am curious to hear yours!
